lists.gnu.org is general GNU infrastructure not maintained by anyone
here at Emacs. I'm not sure what the right contact address is; perhaps
mailman at gnu.org.

It seems like the bug-gnu-emacs archive is not being properly
indexed/searched.

Please see forwarded emacs bug#29290 below ...

Let me refine the report a little bit.

Here is the search:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=server-name&submit=Search%21&idxname=bug-gnu-emacs&max=1000&result=normal&sort=score

But it does not locate this message which contains that search string:

This is a good address for the report.  FSF sysadmin is on this list.

[Glenn Morris]

Thanks! While you are here... :)

I often see it said that the search on

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/

is very messed up. Search results seem to have nothing to do with the query.
As a random example, search for "idempotent" (but anything will do).
I get 20 results, none (?) of which seem to contain the search term.

bug#29290: [gnu.org #1252961] Re: bug#29290: 25.3; bug-gnu-emacs archive web search fails to find matching bugs

[Ian Kelling via RT]

I regenerated the search index and the searches mentioned in
bug-gnu-emacs and other bad search results reported elsewhere give good
results.

However, I did not find the root cause of problem. Something is likely
going wrong in the incremental indexing done by namazu. I've improved
that so it reports errors: we were incorrectly ignoring them
before. Hopefully that will lead to tracking down the root cause, but if
you notice any problems, especially in searching for messages posted at
a time after around now (those will all be incrementally indexed),
please let us know.

The reindexing of lists is still in progress and should finish in about
24 hours, so you might still notice issues on other list archive
searches until then. Search will be temporarily broken for each list as
it is reindexed. It is going a-z and is currently doing emacs-devel as I
send this (it hasn't gotten to emacs-orgmode yet).

My suggestion is to use the search engine of the bug tracker, at

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/search.cgi

It is more sophisticated and does find the above bug report.

The reasons why the mailman search didn't find the report could be a
few.  One of them could be the way the Subject line was formatted
(download the bug report in mbox format and see for yourself).  Or it
could be some other snafu.  But you are advised to try the above
search engine before concluding that a bug for some issue doesn't
exist.

I tried the link above. It takes an unnatural amount of effort to find
the bug between the garbled titles and summary lines.

Sorry, I didn't see that. Where is this advised?

'M-x report-emacs-bug' mentions debbugs.gnu.org but does not provide any
specific advice.

The first google hit for "emacs bug" is https://debbugs.gnu.org

So, OK, both put you on debbugs.gnu.org. Now if you search the page for
"emacs" ...

... the first hit is the aforementioned mailman search ;-(

... the second hit is

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=emacs;max-bugs=100;base-order=1;bug-rev=1

... which I can't get to find the bug ;-(

So, bottom line,

1) if you _don't want_ people to go to mailman search please _remove the
   1st link_ on debbugs.gnu.org

2) if you want people to go to the search link you gave me, please _edit
   the 2nd link_ debbugs.gnu.org

3) If you want average users to use
   https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/search.cgi to pre-chew bug reports please
   to improve its usability.

"Garbled"?  What do you see there, exactly, and what browser did you
use to do that?  I see nothing garbled, everything is perfectly
legible and clear.  I wonder what did you do differently and what did
you see.

After getting to the above search page, I type "server-name" into the
"Phrase" field, select "Order by Submission date", in "descending
(number or date)" order, change "Max results" to 100, and click
"Search".  Did you do something else?

Alarmed? no.  Searching for a particular discussion is never easy for
me.

I see none of what you see, sorry.  It's as if we were in two
different worlds.  https://debbugs.gnu.org/ has a few links to usage
notes, package maintainers, and other not-so relevant stuff, then a
few fields to use for searching bugs by their numbers, then "General
Search", which I never user, and lastly "Advanced Search", which is
what I suggested to click.  How come what you see is so different?

Using Safari on Macos on https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/search.cgi, when I
enter "server-name AND set-variable" and look in the results for 23576,
I find ...

I call this "garbled" because it is so mangled by escape that the title
is uninformative and the paragraph is unreadable.

It looks the same in Chrome. It looks only a bit better in 'M-x eww' ...

No we see the same thing but I am talking about some of the what you are
calling "not-so relevant stuff" ;-)

Please look for the links on https://debbugs.gnu.org/ with "emacs" in
their title.

You will see links to ...

1) https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnu-emacs

2) https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=emacs;max-bugs=100;base-order=1;bug-rev=1

These send your emacs users with bugs to report to places that you don't
recommend that they go so I am saying please change them ...

That's not "garbled", that's the RFC 2047 encoded subject line, as
originally produced by the MUA of the person who reported the bug.

You should look at the highlighted matches for the search strings, and
determine whether this is what you are looking for.

It's not very human friendly though.  There's also some mojibake from
the fancy quotes:

    one a unique “server nameâ€

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojibake

    Mojibake (文字化け) (IPA: [mod͡ʑibake]; lit. "character transformation"),
    from the Japanese 文字 (moji) "character" + 化け (bake, pronounced
    "bah-keh") "transform", is the garbled text that is the result of text
    being decoded using an unintended character encoding

PS I would find that search much more usable if it coalesced matches to
the same bug; as it is, you typically have to scroll past a lot of
repeats for long bug threads.

Two more reasons not to use curly quotes in email, I guess.

You are assuming people look for bugs, but that doesn't have to be the
case.  They could look for something mentioned tangentially, or just
in part of the bug discussion.
