[extropy-chat] Meta:searching list archives

[Mike Lorrey]

The Javien engine does not search list archives (pre-2003 I don't think
is even present anymore). It is impossible for us to find discussions
more than a year ago, which is pretty sad. Suggest either lucifer gets
fixed or we find some other means (perhaps an Atomz engine?)
