Dear all,
do we have any alternative means to search the mailing list given the
current problems with gmane?
Thanks,
eric

I would be lost without access to the mailing list.

The mail list search has been broken for more than one year (close to
two). I and others have asked that it be repaired and nothing has happened!

Are you sure it's been broken that long? I don't use it often but I
thought I used it more recently than that. Oh well, doesn't matter;
just curious. The key is that it's broken now but at least there are
alternatives.
I'll check out MailArchive, as you indicated in another post to this
list.
Thanks,
eric

I'm not sure whether Charles is referring to Gmane search or the
lists.gnu.org search: I understood it to be the latter. If he indeed
means the latter, I can agree that it seems broken. It might just be
that the index is not being rebuilt regularly, or there might be some
deeper problem, but I have found it to be unusable.
Gmane (while it was still alive) broke a few times but it was always
repaired fairly quickly (I nagged Lars a couple of times about it, so
I may have indirectly contributed to him giving up in disgust ;-) ).
Now that Gmane is being resurrected[1], I hope that things will be
more or less back to normal in fairly short order.
[1] see another post of mine in this thread - although bear in mind
that my posts seem to take 12 hours to appear on the list; no
idea why.

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.

So you aren't saying that just the list for org-mode is broken you are
saying that all GNU mailing list archives are broken?!

I don't know if Charles has tried other lists on lists.gnu.org - I have only
tried searching the org-mode list, so I can only confirm that that one seems
broken.

Just the org mode list. Apologize for the confusion!

I have been using MailArchive. A few weeks ago. Lars Magne mentioned
this as an alternative.
Also, I have added the newsgroup in my Thunderbir. However, I have not
downloaded the entire 100,000+ messages (only about 1K). Maybe
downloading headers only and searching through those would help?
gnus is having problems when I attempt to download the
subscribed/unsubscribed lists.
