New look to Mail Archive message pages

We have been working on a new design for The Mail Archive message pages. The goal has been to visually bring you to the message content faster. The subject and message are right there at the very top left of the page now. We've been finding and fixing bugs with the new design the last few weeks

HI Christian. Actually, we've been using Google's search for our front-page site-wide search for years. Our internally-developed Lucene search has always been on the individual lists and still is. So we've never had Lucene search parameter controls on that site-wide search. The only change that

Yes, looks like there is a problem where we are displaying double search results. We'll look at it this week and fix that right up. MHonArc is all written in Perl. Lucene is built on Java, but we use it via a Python wrapper. The Mail Archive's wrapping layers and sorting code is written mostly

Hi Mike. That's a very good point about the case sensitivity on the "from" and "date" directives. I'll see what I can do to fix that. It's great to hear you are enjoying the search engine. We use Lucene for the per-list search indexes; it's certainly a high quality open-source engine. Jeff O
