The google search system stopped archiving FBSD news groups at the start of 2002, so google search is useless. The FBSD org site has an archives search which is very out of date and the format in which the info is presented makes it next to useless. This is the best FBSD newsgroup search engine I have found http://freebsd.rambler.ru/ Here is the guy who is running the site. Vlad Shabanov [vs@rambler-co.ru] He has posted many times to the questions list telling readers about his FBSD archive search engine. Question. Is the official FreeBSD Questions News Group search http://minnie.tuhs.org/BSD-info/bsdnews_search.html which is found at the FreeBSD.org site ever going to be upgraded into something more useful? As it is now, it's so primitive, and so very un-user-friendly. Why are the posted messages displayed with their complete headers? Useless info for someone searching for answers to their FBSD problems. The http://freebsd.rambler.ru/ site is head and shoulders better than what the FreeBSD.org site currently has. Is there some way to get the FreeBSD.org site to change to use this new site? What other search engines are readers of the mailing list using?
