Unless ALL search engines are harvested by spammers (i.e.: forget dejanews), the foregoing is beside the point of my intent, which is essentially: What will it take to get a (any) search function for debian-user? Or conversely, what is blocking a search function from being implemented? Or does a search function plan already exist? .. -- David Stern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://weber.u.washington.edu/~kotsya/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
