I just tried searching for "Debian" and got no results also. So I
selected "user" as the search category. Still nothing. So I
selected "Jan to Mar 0" and got the "No archives..." message. So
I added the two quarters just above "Jan to Mar 0" to my
selection and then got some hits. Yeah, there appears to be a
little something wrong, but it is working at least to some
extent.
