It certainly appears so ... your email is about the fifth complaining of this in the last 48 hours. A few temporary workarounds are: 1) Go to the mailman home page for the particular list you want to search and use that local search. For example: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/ 2) Use the advanced search on a search engine (such as google) I've cc'd the webmaster and doc@ as I have yet to see any response that anyone is looking in to this. It's quite possible that the folks responsible for this have yet to be alerted to the breakage. If fixing the general search page will take some time, I'd be willing to generate a patch to redirect users from that page to individual search pages for the lists. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
