Yeah, googling with an additional qualitifer of "site:lists.debian.org"
or something like that. The disadvantage is that you don't get
the ability to search on date ranges and stuff like that, which
using the search engine provided by Debian for the mailing lists
gives you. The advantage is that Google finds a lot of stuff
that the Debian search engine misses.
But either way, do search the lists, even if it seems inefficient for
you, as an act of kindness/respect towards the people you'd like to
help you.
