;-)

The man page suggested that the search parameter was a service name
(that I wouldn't know, at the time), as opposed to just being a keyword
I could supply to look for in a log entry.

It's still tediously slow to use, compared to the old messages text file
(which was only a recent log file, since the last rotation, not a huge
behemoth).  I'm not convinced it's the best way to do things for those
that only need to do the occasional system administration (because,
generally, their computer just works fine).

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
