Hey there everybody. Over the past week or so, I've put together a tool I use to search the vanagon mailing list archives. I find it pretty useful, and I'm hoping other folks do too.

It breaks a long-range multi-year search into one-month chunks and provides some progress feedback as it searches. Once it's found some results, they're displayed for you to look more closely at before you continue the search.

It should be fairly resource-friendly on gerry, and I find having some progress indicator makes the searches seem to take less time. Plus, there's much less chance for your search to 'time out'!

Anyhow, if you'd like to try it out, here's the URL:

Give it a spin. Hope it comes in handy.
