I don't see why searching listserv archives can't be as simple as writing
 
search <desiredword> in <listname>
 
Why should it have to be more complicated? What good is all of that
extra coding?

This is  not the proper way  to access the LISTSERV  database. You should
either use the LDBASE user-interface  for interactive access, or submit a
DATABASE job. Please refer to LISTDB MEMO (available via an INFO DATABASE
command) for more information.
