Okay, here we are: in this particular instance the topic I was searching for was an article about David Salo I had posted way back in January. Since it was so long ago I basically just remembered that it had to do with David Salo but did not use that name in the title itself. So I was searching entire messages for the name David Salo. I finally did remember that the title was "The Man Behind the Translations" so I used that just now under heading only and entered my member number, and voíla, it went through.

But I am an AOL user so to experiment I switched over to Internet Explorer and used the vaguer method I was trying before, and it went through that way, too. Unforunately, it brought up "TTT - Faramir (David Wenham)".

So, I guess I have to know some very specific things to make it work, but thanks Sharon, you're right, it was AOL causing the "web page not found" problems. So I'll lower the sledgehammer I was waving at the computer. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (Using AOL is not my idea, by the way).
