I sent this well over 2 hours ago, and again a short while ago, and haven't
seen either yet, so sorry if it ends up as triplicate. I changed the subject
line, this time, too, just in case there are proscribed words (I suffered
from that with Mandriva's sympa)/
A friend is considering migration, and wanted to search the archives for
topics concerning his hardware. From the list web-page he found the archives
link, but there doesn't seem to be any search facility there. How do you
search, then?

Hi Anne!
I have found it quite useful at times to have the FC list and Ubuntu list (I am on both) in Gmail. I have been doing this for about a year, am using only 4% of my limit (96MB of 2.7GB) but the search tool has been great when I needed to find something pertaining to specific hardware or a subject under study.
In looking at how I might do spcifically what you asked, the only way I can think of is to download the gunzips, extract, and run your favorite text search tools on them. Kinda crude.
I have found Google very useful finding info about specific hardware and how they fare on distros. It helps to ask the question several differant ways. "Dell Inspiron 8100 on Fedora Core" (try moving the words arround, remove some words, add say "problems" or "installation" and take hints from what you find). Alaways look at the date and context of what you find.
Have a great day!
Tod
