I just tried the following in google:
site:lists.debian.org debian-user debian forum
and got 7420 hits in 0.54s. 

Then I tried:
site:lists.debian.org debian-user "debian forum"
and got 123 hits in 0.26s.

I had been on the verge of testing a forum to find out about their
claimed search benefits. Now, I don't think I'll bother. ;-)

Thanks, Roberto.
