Dear list, I would like to re-post the below mail regarding the search feature of the mailing list archive. I am sure everyone here agrees that the list archive is one, if not the only one, of the most comprehensive collections of Pd knowledge that comes from more than a decade of fruitful discussions and insight know-how. It would be great if there was a way to reliably search this valuable data.
