On those addresses with more than 50 starting with a common letter, they are of course split up, but when I click on another of the sub-letter lists, the “Find” string disappears in the search results and I’m back to a subset of the whole list, not the searched list.  Is there any way around this?  Thanks much.

The fix has been committed for 2.1.18.  In the mean time, another work
around is when you click the link for another chunk and get the
unfiltered chunk back with a URL like
<http://www.example.com/mailman/admin/listname/members?letter=m&chunk=1>
in the browsers address bar, add the filter to the URL and get that.
E.g. with yahoo.com as the search, the above becomes
<http://www.grizz.org/mailman/admin/gpc-talk/members?letter=m&chunk=1&findmember=yahoo.com>.
