Hi Troy,

I would recommend searching from Google, and after the keywords you want
to search for, append "site:lists.samba.org/archive/samba/".

For example, here's the URL for the search '"active directory"
replacement':

	http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="active+directory"+replacement+site%3Alists.samba.org%2Farchive%2Fsamba%2F&btnG=Search

It won't include messages posted since the last time Google indexed the
site, but otherwise it works pretty well.
