Get a gmail account and have your rails list subscription sent there. After a couple of months you’ll have the best search engine around indexing/searching the list for you. Joe ---

Chris, I have posted a number of times on this issue. Sometimes the forum bridge is great, other times it’s completely unavailable. This plugin works great for the Nabble bridge to the list which I have found to be consistenly available: [http://blog.ericgoodwin.com/articles/2006/03/25/firefox-rails-search-plugin](http://blog.ericgoodwin.com/articles/2006/03/25/firefox-rails-search-plugin) Hope this helps, Dave On 4/9/06, Joseph K.

The direct URL is: [http://www.nabble.com/Ruby-on-Rails-f13830.html](http://www.nabble.com/Ruby-on-Rails-f13830.html) Nabble differs from Gmane in that it combines all three RubyOnRails lists into one searchable archive, so that you only need to search from one place instead of three.

I agree that signing up for the mailing list ans storing all of the messages is the best search. Evolution does a great job with a super fast search.
