OK, I have finally decided that our archive searching stinks. I have
emails in my mailbox that don't appear in the archives.
Our main site, http://archives.postgresql.org/ doesn't archive the
'patches' list. (It isn't listed on the main site, and I can't find
postings via searching.) Also, why does it open a separate window for
each email. That doesn't make any sense to me.
My backup is Google,
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=comp.databases.postgresql,
but that seems to be missing emails too. Our email/news link regulary
drops messages and therefore Google can't see them.
It isn't one thing, but a general lack of quality in this area. Heck,
we had no usable archives for _months_. Is this really only important
to me?
Oh, I see FTS is back working at http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/. I
like the output format, but all three are give me different results.
However, fts is invisible because I can't find a link to it from
anywhere on our web pages.
I guess I am asking:
Can our main archive start doing the patches list?
Can it stop opening a new window for every email?
Can we find out why the email/news gateway drops messages?
Can we link to the fts site?
Search for 'dbmirror' on all three and you will see the differences.
