By popular demand, I've setup a search facility for the Xymon mail
archive.

The previous one used ht://Dig, which was not very good at finding
the right stuff, and also very hard on the load of the system. That's
why I removed it when the mailing list was moved from "hobbit" to
"xymon".

The new search facility uses Omega, which is based on the Xapian
engine. It's Open Source, appears to provide reasonable results,
and very light on the system since it can be configured to only
index updates.

So I hope this will make the mail archive more useful.


Regards,
Henrik

Brilliant! Thanks for that. I managed to find an archive message in seconds that took me minutes to find before.

Wouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words FISH and AND and AND and CHIPS in my FISH-AND-CHIPS sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before "FISH," and between "FISH" and "and," and "and" and "AND," and "AND" and "and," and "and" and "AND," and "AND" and "and," and "and" and "CHIPS," as well as after "CHIPS?"
