I disagree. I am always using the Apple List search because I don't initially want all the extra stuff that Google finds. Of course I usually end up on Google anyway...

I would imaging that if Apple repaired the search function they'd get less repeat questions. (Just a thought.)

Doubtful. For the people who are comfortable enough to inform their own research, they're going to be using a search engine anyway, so they pick up not only on the mailing list content but also blogs, Stack Overflow, etc. The people who don't search beforehand won't do it with either Google or the mailing list search; they're either looking for a quick fix or don't know enough about the subject matter to engage in a worthwhile search.

The only people whom a functioning mailing list search really benefits
are those who remember a thread from a few months ago on the very
topic they're trying to research.  Certainly useful, but I predict a
marginal to zero decrease in repeat questions if Apple fixes the
search.
