Does searching the list archives work for you?  It doesn't work for me.
For example, searching for "xscreensaver" in June or even May produces no
results.  Searching the whole list produces results from 2003.  A Google
search for:

    xscreensaver site:www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-June

produces 2 messages, from early June.  A search of my saved messages
produces 18 messages (if I counted right).

In fact, searching any list that seems to use the same software as this
list doesn't work for me.  I suspect that the indexing software is broken
or isn't being run.

Bottom line:  Google search works, but is not up-to-date enough to have
relevent messages for the OP.  List search does not work, so telling users
to do it does not seem helpful.
