Search ORNL/LMES Public Mailing List Web Server

Hello,

It would seem that the logical operator for "and" plus "or" are mixed up
in the 'Power Search' on ORNL/LMES Public Mailing List Web Server.

For example, I wish to retrieve the following article from the
tru64-unix-managers list:
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/tru64-unix-managers/1998/09/msg00020.html

So I enter the following in the 'Power Search'
        (http://www-archive.ornl.gov:8000/archive/power.htm)

        Limit the search to: Alpha-OSF-Managers List
        Operator Search For Region
        N/A summary Summary
        And setquota summary

Produce no results.

However, if I change the Operator to "Or" the search engine retrieves
the correct article.

The alternative mailing list archive at the following URL has no
problem:

Regards,
Rich
