Hi Conrad,<br>
<br>
Searching the Chimera mail archives from the Chimera documentation
web page does not work at all well.<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docindex.html">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docindex.html</a><br>
<br>
I tried searching for "Beale" and it produced no results.<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<div id="topstuff">
<div class="med">
<p style="margin-top: 0.33em;">Your search - <b>Beale
site:www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users -filetype:gz</b>
- did not match any documents. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em;">Suggestions:</p>
<ul style="margin: 0pt 0pt 2em 1.3em;">
<li>Make sure all words are spelled correctly.</li>
<li>Try different keywords.</li>
<li>Try more general keywords.</li>
<li>Try fewer keywords.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

There is a message in August 2010 from John Beale. If I search for
that message using <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.google.com">www.google.com</a> (chimera "startup options" John
Beale) I do get the message. So it has been indexed.<br>
<br>
Some other revealing problems. Searching the Chimera archives
from the documentation page for "chimera" produces only 20 hits, all
but 5 are attachments. Likewise a search for "windows" produces
just 4 hits (one from 2005, one 2006, one 2007, one 2010).<br>
<br>
Obviously this isn't working. Maybe we should remove the search
field from the documentation until we have time to fix it because
users (even ones who should know better like me) sometimes believe
the search results that there are no archived messages on the topic.<br>

How do I reply to an old chimera-users message and keep my
reply in the same mailing list thread? I guess there is some
mail header line that allows the mailing list to recognize which
messages belong to the same thread. But I don't have the old
chimera-users email I want to reply to. The web interface to
the archive doesn't appear to provide a way to reply.

Well, I don't know for sure, but I assume it is threaded based on
the In-Reply-To header and/or the References header. Now, the
archive doesn't show you either of those so I assume they're
buried in some internal location, so you're stuck. Besides,
threading is broken across month boundaries anyway, so isn't the
point moot really?
