Hi SLE, (Again, sorry for the delay.) The lack of searchable archives bothers us too. The reason we don't provide them is fairly simple though: none of the free web search engines that we've tried can handle archives of this size reliable.=20 We briefly had searching available when mmj and I migrated the lists to new hardware but eventually the indexer started failing again. We made the decision that it was better not to provide searching if it's going to be unreliable. I've looked into commercial search engines (specifically, google) and, to be completely frank, I can't justify the considerable cost in paying them to use their search engine. As others have pointed out, places like Geocrawler provide searchable archives. Likewise, if you prefix a search on google with "English SuSE Linux Discussions: [SLE]" you basically have a poor company's google index of the archives. =20 The following is a little javascript bookmark I use to easily search google like this. To use it, go to your browser's bookmark editor and create a new bookmark. In the "bookmark properties" (Netscape/Mozilla call it that, yours may be slightly different) field paste the following: javascript:q=3D(document.getSelection)? document.getSelection(): document.s= election.createRange(); if(!q)q=3Dprompt('Search:',''); if(q)location=3D 'h= ttp://www.google.com/search?hl=3Den&q=3D%22English+SuSE+Linux+Discussions%2= 2+'+escape(q);=20 I have this as a bookmark on my "personal toolbar" named "Search SLE"--when I click on it a box pops up with a field that you put the search string in. Likewise, it's should be fairly obvious how to modify this for suse-security or any other list. =20 Please direct questions or comments directly to ml-admin@suse.com=20 and not the list, thanks. -- -ckm
