Re: search matching woes

Which version of Netscape are you using?  I had problems with Communicator
4.05 and 4.08 (under Linux) with the same error.  Went away with version
4.5.  I think Communicator 4.0[58] is broken.

Never got around to checking the server logs... you might enable logging of
the debug severity in your syslog config and see if anything telling is
shown in the log.
