It would be useful to at least note by the search box that it only searches messages sent prior to May 2005. But note that Gmane (http://gmane.org) is run entirely on Free Software, and doesn't provide any non-Free Software downloads so you could presumably add a search box for that without political worries. (This may also be true for some of the other mail archives, I'm just much more familiar with how Gmane is run because I built the current search facility for it). Anyway, should you want it there's sample HTML to cut-and-paste for a search box on this page: http://search.gmane.org/ Cheers, Olly
