<br>
On duckduckgo the following search term gives better results:<br>
<br>
site:<a href="http://mail.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mail.kde.org</a> inurl:digikam-users dng<br>
<br>
FWIW, this form is given in the Mailman FAQ:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20search%20the%20archives%20of%20the%20mailman-users%20mailing%20list%3F" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20search%20the%20archives%20of%20the%20mailman-users%20mailing%20list%3F</a><br>
<br>
I agree that the mailing list archive is a valuable resource, and <br>
searching it is hard/frustrating, as it is for mailman archives in general.<br>
<br>
I suggest that information about how to search the archive is important <br>
enough to justify putting it on the "digiKam Support" page itself, <br>
<a href="https://www.digikam.org/support/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.digikam.org/support/</a>, next to the link to the mailing list <br>
archive. For example something like:<br>
<br>
Search the archive using the following search in usual search engines:<br>
site:<a href="http://mail.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mail.kde.org</a> inurl:digikam-users my search topic<br>
<br>
It appears that mailman itself does not include a search engine for its <br>
archives, but sites can set up a separate search interface, such as <br>
mailman itself has:<br>
<a href="https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/</a><br>
As far as I can see, kde does not have a search interface for the lists <br>
served on <a href="http://mail.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mail.kde.org</a>. For example the kde lists support page:<br>
<a href="https://kde.org/support/mailinglists/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kde.org/support/mailinglists/</a><br>
points to the usual pipermail archive interface for the 22 years of the <br>
kde list:<br>
<a href="https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde/</a><br>
