</div>Surely you must be dreaming to think that people who would use<br>
stackexchange to do the searching will be more than those who search the<br>
searchable list archives.<br>

</div>Hasn't this been discussed on this list before? Oh, yes back in<br>
February, here is an example of how searchable this list is<br>
<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=stackexchage+site%3Adrupal.org" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/search?q=stackexchage+site%3Adrupal.org</a>. My<br>
preference is and will always be an email list instead of some online<br>
form. That doesn't mean the online support forum isn't any more or less<br>
good.<br>
