Below is a message that I received today regarding the new archives.

Please try it out. Enjoy!

>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any mailing list (except those withdrawn by the listowner), now with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.

>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.
