Worg -- search mailing list archives on gmane?

[Raymond Zeitler]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 610 bytes --]

When attempting to use the mailing list search tool on Worg, the web browser
says:

 

"search.gmane.org's server DNS address could not be found."

 

Here's a link to the Worg page with the search button:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-mailing-list.html

 

Why does it search gmane and not the archives on list.gnu.org?

 

After a too-long frustrating search to find a way to contact the Worg
maintainer, I finally ended up here.

 

About me: Returning to org-mode after a four-year hiatus, Raymond Zeitler
has been trying to catch up and re-learn his old workflow, which makes him
an *experienced* newbie.

Is http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode any good?

Best wishes

When I visit the URL that you provided at dir.gmane.org, the page loads.  However, when I enter a search term in the textbox and press enter, I get the same result as before.  This is using Chrome.  Cyberfox says simply that it can't find the server. Perhaps Chrome is confusing an unresponsive server for a DNS failure.

Thank you for responding.  Apologies for reverse message quoting...

Gmane went down last summer, changed hands and has not been
completely resurrected yet: the nntp portion works but the
search capability is not. See

   http://home.gmane.org/

Disappointingly, there has been no update since last September.

IME, searching list.gnu.org is an exercise in frustration. I think the
hope was that gmane search would be back shortly, but that
increasingly looks like a pipe dream.

FWIW: Although I read the mailing list through the gmane newsgroup, I
did not turn off the mailing list completely: I subscribe to the
digests which I save locally. That's what I use for searching.

I rather think it's the site and not your browser. When I enter a
search, I also get the same "can't find the server" error. I've tried
using eww, conkeror and firefox - all give the same error. Should have
tried it before sending you the URL! Umm, I don't really know what to
suggest next.

Best wishes,

Colin.
