To be honest, this is a very old opinion, and I would have trouble
justifying it.  Now that you mention it, I see there are "AND" and "OR"
options presented if I click "Searching" on the left instead of just
going to the group page.

I suppose perl or egrep-style regular expression searching would
be "super great".  Maybe that's impractical.
