I use lists.debian.org all the time and find it quite sufficient for my
purposes. Without wanting to patronise anybody, you do realise that you
have to (quote):
Words separated by a space are searched for together. Separating them
with a comma will find files containing either one. Separating them with
a semicolon will find files containing both. More complex patterns are
possible.
so basically if I wanted to find this thread, I would enter
Marty;list;archive;engine
and select 'user' and the last quarter and it would find it.
