Hello, I have no idea when this item became available, but if you go to rootsweb.com you will see a new beta Mailing List Archiver Search that allows you to search ALL lists at once for keywords, subject, etc. That means, if I put in "copper workers," I get all the messages for all the lists that related to copper workers. This is a wonderful invention, as I do not belong to all the lists (obviously) and others on different lists might have info I can use. In the past, you would have had to individually search each of thousands of lists. Anyway--just a word of warning--one can spend a lot of time there, seeing what others are writing and asking about!
