It's great to finally see searchable archives. This will save me a lot of time.
A few comments:
- I use the web exclusively to view the mailing list (I disabled mail
delivery in my options). Could you put a search button at the top of
the web archives page for each mailing list. That way we wouldn't
have to continually select the cocoa-dev item from the pop-up menu on
the main search page.
- I'm sure you're already aware of this, but the titles and summaries
in the search results could be improved. Most other mailing list
search engines show the title of the message, some contents
surrounding the first occurrence of the search word, and when you
click on the link you get the message and only the message (without
having to wade through a day's worth of archives).
- The gnu.org mailing list archives are pretty nice in my experience:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/lists.html
- Any chance of integrating the info on the omnigroup mac os x dev
mailing list into the search engine? They have lots of good info
there too but it would be nice to have a central repository...
