Hi Paul - thank you for your help.

I should have also said I'm still running LISTSERV 14.5 - I can't find a
reindex command (in the docs) and when I try to run it from the web
interface it says it's an unknown command.  But I did change the header
(several times) and the logs show the list has been reindexed.

I did change the name of the log files to reflect the new name.  The web
interface can see each week just fine, and show messages from those times,
but the search function only returns hits from what has been sent to the
list since it came here.
