How do I search for a mailing list?

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 boost-users@lists.boost.org. There is also a boost-dev@lists.boost.org 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
boost-users@lists.boost.org

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?
