I've been searching for LOOP_CONT.
Hmmm, looking at this a bit closer, it looks that single words are matched
either literally or with some other word that is mostly unrelated except
etymologically, but never as a substring, although sequences of words
are matched against word anagrams or even loosely scattered words.
Could we have a way to have regexp search, at least for the current month?
While it is possible to search back periods by downloading the entire
months archives and searching there, this option is unfortunately not open
for the current month.
