It doesn't help that the particular site suggested for testing this feature
has a problem in that department:
 
"File Not found
 
The requested URL /cgi-bin/archives/search_help.html was not found on this
server."
 
People might want to try it at
http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/index.html instead.  (The help links
work there.)
