>The new search engine server is now online and can operate at the
>speed of a full T1 connection.
>
>Courtesy of hacks by Dale Schneider, you can search the USGenWeb
>Archives, now with *headlines* and *updated* to within the last 24
>hours, at:
>
>http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm
>
>Courtesy of hacks by Karen Isaacson, you can search the archives of
>any mailing list (except those withdrawn by the listowner), now with
>nicer *formats* and *updated* to within the last 24 hours, at:
>
>http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
>
>I'd also like to explicitly thank the folks who provided the
>resources that have made this new facility possible:
>
>o RootsWeb's Patrons, Donors, Sponsors, and Members.
>
>o Palladium Interactive, developers of the Ultimate
> Family Tree software for genealogists.
>
>Folks interested in helping RootsWeb provide new facilities can
>become Members by using the Web form at:

>http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html
>
>By the way, the next server we'll be bringing online will be a box
>dedicated to supporting Marc Nozell's HTMLized versions of the
>mailing list archives. We should have that box online within 48
>hours, though it's reasonable to expect Marc to need a little time
>after that to get his software installed. (:
>
>Projects after that include a dedicated IRC server, upgrading the
>mail hub, upgrading the main Web server, building a NT-based
>FrontPage server, bringing a "dirtylists" list server online, and
>bringing a third ordinary list server online.
>
>[ The "dirtylists" server is for the big, rarely used announcement
> lists. We've developed a number of those things with 5,000 to
> 300,000 subscribers, and every time a post drops we kick the
> daylights out of the list server with hundreds or even thousands of
> bounces. We need a specially tuned box to handle these turkeys. ]
>
>No rest for the wicked, I suppose ... Cheers, B.
