It may be that using one of the major Web search engines will work
pretty well.  It seems that Alta Vista and Northern Light are doing
best tonight.

Alta Vista - http://www.altavista.com/ - simple search uses a "+/-" 
method that's about the same as a boolean search:

  +seesat +respler +iridium -"other mail archives"  

Right now that results in a list of 43 pages.  (The -"other mail
archives" 
excludes the monthly index pages.)

Northern Light - http://www.northernlight.com/ - uses the standard
boolean method for the same search:

  seesat AND respler AND iridium AND NOT "other mail archives"

That search lists 30 pages.

Other possibilities are:

Excite - http://www.excite.com/ - which also uses "+/-" method.

Hotbot - http://www.hotbot.com/

Infoseek - http://www.infoseek.com/

  +seesat +respler

Lists 12 pages.

A non-commercial page with simple list of many search engines is at
