Yes I did mean lists.gnu.org. Since April 2015, at least, I have
occasionally gone to the search engine for that list to see if it has
been repaired and I have had no luck. Either it has never been repaired
or I somehow mange to chose just the "right" time when it is down, again.

Great! Then I can find who first reported that lists.gnu.org search was
not working and when. I know that it wasn't me.
As I recall Nicolas G. suggested that I contact whoever maintained the
list (he gave the address) and report this. I did, but no response.
