AFAICT: Not a lot has been indexed from debian-user since about March/April. If you order hits by Date rather than Relevance, the dearth becomes quite apparent. For subsequent months, it seems that the first posting of the month gets indexed, as indicated by searching for sure-fire hits like: debian file and turning up: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2024/09/msg00000.html Here's another oddity, though: I searched (all words) for disadvantage method check and it found 13 occurences, one of which was the reference above! I chose those words as they occur in the /next/ post for that month, msg00001.html, and that /wasn't/ listed. Ditto for string ellipsis version which should match msg00002.html, but only gives the same old msg00000.html reference as the sole hit. Cheers, David.
