patgreen -
You're welcome - though it's merely a little page-turning, with a dash of sleuthing on my part. I'm just happy to see others pitching in with the heavy lifting.
I need find some time to dig into my personal archive and check another resource on that one number - 438165.
WRT to your other Q's:

Stephens example starts 5622-62-72a etc Is it better to enter the full four digits for each model as suggested ear5lier? It seems to me that using the last 2 digits of the model number will lead to confusion with the set numbers...
Yes, you need to expand to the full four-digit for each model numbers if you want to be able to search by model. Also, though the search may not be case-sensitive, I'd recommend you use capital "A" for suffixed models like 5672A and 5677A.

Does the word set need to have spaces on both sides to work ok?
Likewise, ImitLeasidewall better with spaces between each word or fine runtogether.
Is there a difference between using spaces and dashes between parts? Does it affect the search.
I'm no programmer, but tried a search on "carib" and it pulled up my two recent posts which contain only the full word "Caribbean". So, I don't think it matters, but you should pick a style and stick with it for more refined and comprehensive searching, later. After all the work I've put into compiling and refining the Service Index, trust me on this.
However, that partial match may pose a problem on searching for two-digit Trim Set numbers - suspect it might pull up model numbers, as well. Short of migrating to a database feature, I don't see a way around that. I'd hate to lose the partial match functionality. Mebbee Kev will have some input.
