This list's search engine not working?

[HaJo Schatz]

Ever since I stumbled across this list, I seem to have major
difficulties searching the archives. Say I want to see my posts to the
list (they all have the same footer as below), I believe I could go to
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/
and enter "HaJo" as a search string. Searching in all sections, I get 0
results. 

Does the search engine ignore me by some reason? BTW -- I've been
posting since about June, and when showing the archives sorted by
author, I do find my posts.

OK, not the most helpful to search for my own posts, but I do have the
same issue when searching for given topics.

Any other search engine out there indexing this list reliably? Google
shows 0 hits on a "site:www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/" search...

Hello, HaJo :)
I pasted the above quoted search string in Google, but I subtracted the
"site:" part.
So, when I put "www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/" in a Google
search, I came up with one hit:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/

This is a direct link to the archives for the Fedora Core list.  On the
Fedora List archives page, when I searched for "Schatz" instead of
"HaJo", I got 83 hits.  I checked a few of those 83, and I saw a few for
you, and a few for a Jonathan Schatz.  If I search for Hajo Schatz using
the search function on the Fedora List archive page, I get about 40
hits.
I have no idea why, but for some reason, if "Hajo" is the only string
searched for, nothing comes up.  If your last name comes up, I get quite
a few hits.  The strange part is that when I add "HaJo" to "Schatz",
"HaJo" does have an affect on the search.  As far as why this is, I
haven't a clue :(

Have a Great Day :)

Then the list must decide that I'm an enemy. If I go to the archive's
search and enter "schatz" or "Schatz", not changing any of the
options
below, I get 0 hits in all cases. If I change to "Any match", and/or
"substring" -- same results.

Here's an example:
http://www.redhat.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Schatz&ps=20&o=0&m...

Am I too simple-minded to operate a web-based search engine? I've got
the feeling something is seriously wrong with this engine...

The search engine at redhat.com frequently pops a circuit breaker. As 
an alternative this one is also available:
