[ My apologies to the folks who have multiple or incorrect
subscriptions to LISTOWNERS-ANNOUNCE; I'll get that subscription
list cleaned up as soon as I can. -B ]
[ This is a public announcement -- it may be forwarded to any
appropriate audience. -B ]
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any mailing list (except those withdrawn by the listowner), now with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:

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.
