Re: We need a Search Engine! Was: We need a FAQ.
you can still search the mail archives and packages, i never knew you
could search the www site in the first place :) never needed to.
if you want to search, you can go to altavista and for a search string:
+host:www.debian.org search_string_here
that will restrict searches to debian's website ..works well(got the
idea from www.sendmail.org)
