What the hell is up with searching google for wine-devel and wine-patches posts?

[Steven Edwards]

Hi,
I guess this issue is more directed at Dan and the rest of the google
guys we have lurking here but
has anyone else noticed how hard it is to do a google search for
discussions on wine-devel or
look for patches that have been submitted? I used to just be able to
search as follows

wine-patches Steven Edwards

and see every patch I ever submitted to wine. Ditto for most threads
on wine-devel. This is really
getting to be a pain for me because I need to be able to search for
patches that might not have
been merged in but still have merit for some of my customers.

Thanks

Thanks that works a little better, though normally I would do something like

wine-devel AUTHOR Subject

and depending on how much discussion a certain patch set had gotten
its relivancy
would be higher. Ditto for the patches list. Using site: seems to help
a bit but the
behavior of the search has still changed as is kind of annoying. Anyone have
any idea why?

For searching mailinglists I found http://search.gmane.org/ (e.g.
use gmane.comp.emulators.wine.patches as group) very useful.
