Ah well, I seem to have forgotten about the 'how to search' link directly
after the search field.
However, the fact still is that that info seems to be wrong. For example
(to reproduce), I was
trying to find comments about Emacs its package management, using the query
`straight package`.
I have checked if the results contained both search terms, but they don't
(see result 381
here
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=straight+package&submit=Search%21&idxname=emacs-devel&max=20&result=normal&sort=score&whence=380
,
it does not contain the term 'package' (see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-06/msg00192.html).
Effectively, I am usually unable to find relevant threads using the search
functionality
