yes but it was this specific archive that one wanted to search or more
specifically, one particular person felt that Red Hat was deficient
because they didn't provide much of a search interface for searching the
archives of a specific list.

My point was that it was unnecessary, if you know how to use google, you
can easily search one specific archive.
