Description Francesco Turco 2012-11-29 12:31:52 UTC 
Let me quote the following phrase from the Gentoo FAQ:

> To search through the Gentoo mailing lists, just enter "lists.gentoo.org foo" to search for "foo".

As you can read in http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=136861, the right way to do this is to use the "site:" operator.

> To search through the Gentoo mailing lists, just enter "site:lists.gentoo.org foo" to search for "foo".

Reproducible: Always
