I've had difficulty with with search of archives before as welll. I
haven't used it lately though.
There is a large archive at http://gmane.org/. Has anyone tried
searching that one?

i definitely would like to have an archiving system, and if one can be
used/created that sorts data better (especially by date) it would be great.
as always, i am happy to host anything needed to support this group. (i can
not design/code anything though).

Jake,
since you asked:
" Not sure if they're just not searching (I suspect this), or if the
search is not returning relevant results. I'd need some feedback on
this from the community in general on this. I have all of the emails
on my IMAP server, so I just search in Thunderbird, but if the search
functionality is not working for the users then that would be
something I need to look at."
Example:
I search the archives by thread using "dkim" as the search criteria, I
get a list of 110 matches back. The first is dated 2009/10/10 the
second match is dated 2006/10/16 and the last match on the first page
is dated 2009/09/10.
Not sure if there is a way to sort your searched criteria "dkim" by
date or even if it is possible, but it sure would make the archives
more usable in my opinion. I basically have to look through all 110
matches to find the most current one (and quite possibly the most
revelant).
I don't have all the emails on my IMAP server (just back to 10-2-2008)
is there a better way - please educate me if there is. I am sure
others would like to know as well.
I'm glad you started this thread.
The current archiving system is used, well, because it was there when I took
the project over and I never thought to even look at it. Obviously I do not
use it, but if there is a better alternative (even if it's not externally
hosted like the current one is) then I'm open for suggestions. I'd like to
see a show of virtual hands of the people that like/dislike it. I'll try and
get a survey set up tonight for those who wish to participate to give their
opinion.
