I don't know if Charles has tried other lists on lists.gnu.org - I have only tried searching the org-mode list, so I can only confirm that that one seems broken. Just the org mode list. Apologize for the confusion! Charlie

It might just be that the index is not being rebuilt regularly, or there might be some deeper problem, but I have found it to be unusable. Yes I did mean lists.gnu.org. Since April 2015, at least, I have occasionally gone to the search engine for that list to see if it has been repaired and I have had no luck. Either it has never been repaired or I somehow mange to chose just the "right" time when it is down, again. Gmane (while it was still alive) broke a few times but it was always repaired fairly quickly (I nagged Lars a couple of times about it, so I may have indirectly contributed to him giving up in disgust ;-) ).

Then I can find who first reported that lists.gnu.org search was not working and when. I know that it wasn't me. As I recall Nicolas G. suggested that I contact whoever maintained the list (he gave the address) and report this. I did, but no response. Charlie Millar

A few weeks ago. Lars Magne mentioned this as an alternative. Also, I have added the newsgroup in my Thunderbir. However, I have not downloaded the entire 100,000+ messages (only about 1K). Maybe downloading headers only and searching through those would help? gnus is having problems when I attempt to download the subscribed/unsubscribed lists. Charlie Millar
