You have probably noticed that the search engine on the postgresql site has been up and down a lot. In order to search the mailing list archives, you can usealtavista (www.altavista.com) with the host qualifier. In addition to your search phrase, include the qualifier "host:www.postgresql.org" (without quotes). Then, altavista searches only this host and lists the results. For example, the following search produces about 14 pages. host:www.altavista.com "date format" Thought this might help find information on the mailing list archives more easily. krishna
