That's what I like about the Emacs community -- you can't get away with *anything* ... :-/ You are correct. To be more precise, it is indexed through a Brian Edmonds message on 17 May: Subject: Re: feature request: find cancel Date: 17 May 1997 16:01:45 -0700 From: edmonds@cs.ubc.ca (Brian Edmonds) Message-ID: <37afltem92.fsf@mornir.gweep.bc.ca> I didn't find this problem until after indexing the archives twice (a *most* painful process -- ~100 minutes at 95% CPU on a Pentium 100). It'll be fixed the next time I let the indexing program run, probably sometime this weekend in the wee hours. > Is there something preventing indexing of numbers or > hostnames? Probably. I don't think numbers are indexed. There's also a threshold number of hits before certain `popular' words are dropped. Does searching for any part of Lars' name or `Gnus' work? [I just checked, they don't] According to the documentation they shouldn't be indexed due to the high frequency of occurrences. > Searching for any of the Gnus versions (v5.4.17 for > example) or say "www.gnus.org" doesn't return any matches despite > being in the archives in several places. Now for the important question, these archives have to move off of miranova.com sometime soonish since I haven't worked for them since April. The stablest home I can provide for them would be at xemacs.org. A more logical place might be gnus.org. What do people think?
