asterisk users - Jan 2004 - Searching the archives - new engine demo

Hi,

I've placed a demo search engine of the asterisk users archive here:

    http://asterisk.nextrieve.com/cgi-bin/asterisk

I know there are a number of other ways to search this list that have been
suggested and one person suggested that another wasn't necessary but this
engine will do some things that the others can't. Specifically you can
search
within selected months and from specific users. Or require a certain word in a
subject. You also do a fuzzy search if you are not sure of the spelling, which
approximates a phrase search.

I'll leave this demo up for a couple of days, if this is interesting to
people
and someone wishes to host it I can provide the code.

I've noticed myself that it can be difficult to search the list within
certain
time periods. Google simply won't do that. Not base upon the time the mail
was
sent.

Make sure you check out the advance features which is where you can restrict
to sender, exclude words etc.

Hi,

Very good! I tried some of the features and they are really good, especially 
the search within selected months. I have been reading this list for the 
last 4 months. Answers for some(all) of my doubts are there in the mails 
posted within these months. Normally when googling, I try different 
combinations to find out these mails. It is ok, but time consuming. Your 
search engine is just perfect for people like me and i hope someone will 
host it.

Regards...
