Went back to http://www.freebsd.org/search/index.html

And I see that the last entry  ' Freebsd mail archives search' now
points to http://freebsd.rambler.ru/
So it looks like the FBSD handbook has been updated to go to this
new site.

And it looks like the lucky.freebsd.questions NG is being populated
with the questions mailing list archives.

Scoot  You should look closer at what google found. Not one of those
hits is from the FreeBSD-Questions NG.

Looks like all the hits come from lucky-freebsd.questions.   This is
not the official FBSD questions NG.
I emailed google and asked them, and that is the answer they gave
me.

Really?

A Google Groups search for your email address brings up a bunch of
posts to
freebsd-questions, written this year, at the top of the list.

The Rambler site looks pretty good though, and I agree that it would
be nice
if the 'official' search worked a bit better.  I seem to recall that
someone
was working on a replacement for it, they even put up an early
version for
people to play with, probably about a year ago now.  Whatever
happened to
that?
