Thanks for the reply. :-)
Yes, I'm aware of Google's "site:" syntax, but it's not as useful as a
good built-in search engine:
http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/How+do+I+make+the+archives+searchable
For example, I'm trying to figure out how to change the terminal server
network address. I've yet to construct a Google query that doesn't give
me too many or too few hits:
site:lists.ubuntu.com "terminal server" change address
site:ubuntu.com allintitle: "terminal server"
Also, I'd like to be able to sort the hits in reverse chronological
order (perhaps there's a Google syntax for that?).

I guess I'm making a feature request...
