While I am sympathetic to the comments concerning people not first searching the archives, I must report that in my opinion the archive search is practically useless. Case in point:
Last week I posted a question concerning two varieties of cherries, Dyehouse and an unknown white cherry that grew in or around Blyth, Ontario 30 years ago. Since I got no response to my post, I went to the archives and did a search on "white" and "cherry". Nothing found. I then changed the search to "cherry". Still nothing for "cherry" or "cherries". Am I to assume that the subject of growing cherries has never come up in NAFEX? Or is it that the search only goes against the subject text and no one ever used cherry as the subject? I guess my question is, how does one use the archives effectively?
