There is an excellent searchable mailing list archive at http://groups.google.com/groups?group=mailing.freebsd.questions or http://groups.google.com/groups?group=mailing.freebsd.newbies that seems to be more reachable/searchable than at http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html My guess is that the freebsd-questions archive has extremely high traffic and is off-line sometimes??? But then freebsd.org also gives you the option of searching the docs too... either way all are handy when you have immediate problems that you need answers to...
