Yeah but proper mailing list are searchable also this one just isn't.

This somewhat goes back to the idea of a user forum I spoke of. Newer
users especially will find the collation of relevant queries that are
fully searchable in one location via a web interface simpler to navigate

post hundreds of queries.
I'm not saying that mailing lists are wrong, I have grown up with
various forms of electronic communication from text interface though to
what we have now. I personally find a GUI simpler to use that a CLI.
Thanks,

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.
