How do I search for a mailing list?

[Neutrino]

Here is the url of a mailing list that appears to be hosted by Nabble.

http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Users-f2553780.html

I can't tell which Nabble it is hosted by (old Nabble or new Nabble) because it doesn't say, but judging by the url and the layout I would guess it is hosted by new Nabble.

The name of the mailing list is Boost - Users, the address of the mailing list is [e-mail]. There is also a [e-mail] mailing list I would be interested in accessing.

The Nabble 'Help' page states:

"How do I find my mailing list on Nabble?

Search your mailing list address from Nabble home page. If there is a match, you will find a forum link in the upper part of the result page. "

But when I go to the Nabble home page and enter either

boost - users
[e-mail]

I don't get a list of mailing lists or forums hosted by Nabble at all. All I get is the results of a keyword based Internet search provided by Bing, which is complete garbage.

So what's the point of that? If I wanted to search the Internet I'd use an Internet search provider form directly, if I come to Nabble and search for a mailing list I obviously want to see what Nabble has that relates to the term I'm searching for, not a complete load of unrelated garbage from all across the Internet.

From the Nabble homepage I click "More" and under the mailing list archives tab I can see Boost. But if I type Boost in the search box it just returns 4 completed unrelated random Google results.

So my question is how do I _really_ find mailing lists hosted by Nabble?

Is this service actually functional or is it under development and only half built?

Dude, I found this page using your nabble search box...

In the past we had a full site search index, but we dropped that code when we decided to distribute the architecture over a set of machines. A search like that would be complex to implement (run in parallel in all machines, merge the results, etc.) and wouldn't be really useful for our business. The idea now is that people should use a search engine to find anything they want. If you go to google and search for "[e-mail] nabble archive" you will find the archive you have been looking for.

Note that searching inside a Nabble app is very important and we still have a lucene index for that purpose. For example, you can search this forum for any keyword or expression and we will list the results from our lucene index.
