One thing that might help is if Red Hat's mailing list archive search
wasn't so hard to use,  the search results listed as file names is
horrible.  Simply displaying the subject would improve the usability I'd
estimate 500%.

I mean how useful is this:
-----------------------------------------------
Search Results
For: "search"
4367 matches    Result pages:    1 2 3 4 5 6    Next page

1. redhat-list/date452.html
2. redhat-list/date451.html
3. redhat-list/msg07111.html
4. redhat-list/thread146.html
5. redhat-list/msg27100.html
etc.
------------------------------------------------
I really do feel like reading 4367 files to find the post I'm looking
for.

I've tried Google, it doesn't return mailing list entries for Red Hat as
will as other mailing lists I search this way. when you search
'site:redhat.com redhat 8.0 mp3' for example.

Does anyone have a better way of searching the list archive online?

I sometimes find my self asking questions that I know have been answered
on the list, simply because they are such a pain to find.
