This is a useful website to bookmark and use, but I've found over the
years that it can be improved. My suggestions are:

(1) Allow an option to search by thread. If X is a thread that matches
the search, then most of the emails there (and in Re: X) will also
match, filling up the screen.

(2) The upper limit for a search term should probably be increased. We
have faster computers now, and there are more emails in the archive,
the second of which results in more hits.

(3) If you are performing an AND search, and one of the terms has too
many hits, it is dropped, and you get the search for just the other
one. If there are not too many hits for the second term, the search
engine should look through those documents for the first term.

Example: When I search for "markup table", "table" has 1609 hits at
the moment, and "markup" has too many. The engine should go back
through "table" 's 1609 hits and check each one for "markup", instead
of just providing the 1609 hits for "table".
