Well, I found the issue.  The archives I got from the previous site must
have been on a DOS machine.  When I ran dos2unix on all the old archive
files the search function started working correctly.

Thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions to try. I hope you all
remember what happened here so the next time I ask this someone can remind
me what I need to do. :-)

     human race must have certain qualities before they accord him or
