I can't find this documented anywhere but I was poking around the code [1]
and it is seems to work like this. The request string consists of three
parts separated by colon:
- The list name (us...@subversion.apache.org etc.). It seems it can also be
*@subversion.apache.org, which is probably reasonable for the search widget.
- The time period. If empty it defaults to the last month, no way of saying
"since forever" except faking a date long ago. For example lte=100y.
- The search keyword(s).
For example
https://lists.apache.org/list?*@subversion.apache.org:lte=100y:site+cleanup
I'm not fond of the URLs since it is impossible (at least for me) to make a
plain form that translate into that kind of URL. I've sent a question to
users@ponymail.a.o [2]. I can do it using javascript, see the attached
patch.
During our last overhaul of the page, we tried hard to make the form
useable for users without javascript. However lists.a.o require javascript
so that point is probably moot if we go this way, in which case the
attached patch is probably ok.
A downside of lists.a.o is that it doesn't contain the oldest part of the
archive (neither did mail-archives.a.o). It is still searchable on
svn.haxx.se.
marc.info is both textfriendly and non-javascript-friendly, is up-to-date
and has the older mails not in lists.a.o (except a hole in users@s.a.o
between 2003-08 and 2006-04 which is only served by svn.haxx.se). It is
probably a lot easier to create a form in our site linking to this site.
But I'm not fond of using yet another external service.
I'll wait for some comments before committing anything (or feel free to
commit the patch as attached or updated).
Kind regards,
Daniel
