You're better either:
(a) not subscribing in digest mode (use a filter to put fedora-list 
messages in a separate folder and you won't clutter up your inbox with 
list messages), or
(b) use MIME digests, which will present each message as a separate 
attachment, which can be replied-to individually.

The search facility is well-known for its uselessness ;-)

Some useful search tips can be found in the unofficial fedora-list 
users' guide at:
