Come on guys how hard is it to add "site:lists.digium.com" into the google search box along with your keywords? Or is that like too hard?
This doesn't always work well. For example, ten days ago a message came through the list with the text "voicepulse working?" in the subject line. (It's still in my mail folder, and I just happened to pick it at random.) The search string 'site:lists.digium.com "voicepulse working"' doesn't return any results.
Same thing happened when I searched just now for this thread, which has been going for a few days. Anybody know how to tell how frequently Google reindexes a web site?
I got embarrassed a few weeks ago during a particularly interesting thread when I more or less ordered some people to use google to read the thread.
At this time the original message in the thread had been out there for a week or two.
I don't need to finish the story: nothing doing via google.
So those of you who roast the newbie in a heartbeat, while performing in the main a valuable function, need to be aware that sometimes "search the archives, stupid" is not really going to reveal the information that your tart messages imply will be forthcoming.
