The link is useful.
But I believe it would be an improvement to the Fedora archives to add a search box. I'd be easier to find info. I know I can use Fedora's "Find", but how come this very active list does not have a better search mechanism; why resort to goggle? not that there's anything wrong with it.

I just remembered something I did for a list I host. There's no direct search for the archives in pipermail but I stumbled across something on Google and made a search form that will search the list archive as well as the 'net. You can see it at -

Just ender something like "Gaijin Yokozuna" for a search term to see results. The code is a small javascript thingy. You can set it up without the 'net search, too. Just go to the above URL and view code. You'll need our own key, though. If I were motivated I'd go searching for the actual information but I'm afraid I'm to lazy for that.

Ah heck, I looked it up anyway. You can find info by searching Google for "uds api" or start at these URL's...

Developer's Guide - Google AJAX Search API - Google Code
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/

Google AJAX Search API Tutorial - Google Code University - Google Code
http://code.google.com/edu/ajax/tutorials/ajax-search-api.html

All that's needed is to put this somewhere in the archives and off we go.
