Did you read my question? That is what I tried I guess I chose an
unanswered question though going on the fact of how my other question
went. Is there a way to just query the mailing lis alone though is
more the question.

Yes I read your question and I answered with how _I_ do what you wanted to do (in case it helped). I personally don't see the need to limit my searches to just the mailing lists (especially when the response from Google is basically instantaneous; it's not like searching the whole site takes longer). If I am only interested in the mailing lists, I can always just skip over the non-mailing list responses from Google.

Maybe Google has a way to limit responses to a part of the site, I never tried.

How would I search the repositories for questions people have asked;
that might already be answered? I searched for
"searching through mailing lists" on google nothing seamed relevant.
When I'm looking for something in Ethereal/Wireshark's mailing list
archives, I tend to just Google for:

<topic I'm looking for> site://wireshark.org

Google's faster than any local-to-the-site search engine, and I'm
already well accustomed to its interface, so...
