What is the best way to search information on Haskell Cafe?

You've just searched Haskell-Cafe for the information about how to search information on Haskell-Cafe, and did it in what's probably the most efficient way possible. Without even realizing it.

Often, the best way to search pretty much anything is to let one of the big
search engines do it: they're usually even better at it than a site's own
search functionality (with the result that things like mailing lists
usually don't bother to provide their own, they just invite the search
engines to index the whole archive). So something like "site:
mail.haskell.org inurl:haskell-cafe some search string" in google / bing /
ddg / whatever (the exact syntax may vary by search engine).

I don't think the lists have a built in search function, but you can always use the "site:" syntax in your search engine https://duckduckgo.com/?q=parsec+recursion+site%3Amail.haskell.org%2Fpipermail%2Fhaskell-cafe%2F&t=hj&ia=web Archives are at the usual place: http://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/

Archives are at the usual place:
Seconded. Downloading the archives and grepping through them would probably work quite well. I personally use notmuch [0], which has great tagging and search facilities. After setting up notmuch, you would download the archives, use mb2md to convert them from mbox to maildir, and have notmuch index them. Then you'd search the archives using either the notmuch cli (e.g. notmuch search -- yourquery) in the terminal, or using one of its frontends such as notmuch-emacs or notmuch-mutt. [0]: https://notmuchmail.org/ [1]: http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/ -amin

The mailing list is archived at
https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/
. You can view, amongst others, the discussions by thread.
To search for a specific string in the archive, you can specify
site:mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe
as an extra parameter; this works for many search engines.

Hi,
If you frequently use the "site:" option, you can also use this support web
:)

Hi Takenobu,
It seems that icqbrowse-links do not track recent updates to the channels
since April 11th 2018. Otherwise, nice resource, thanks!

The Haskell Wiki lists a number of archives of the mailing list at https://wiki.haskell.org/Mailing_lists#Archiving The prettiest, most comprehensive search might be provided by https://haskell.markmail.org/ Joachim -- Joachim “nomeata” Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de https://www.joachim-breitner.de/

If you want to heavily search and browse past mail list archives in comfort, I highly recommend installing a good newsreader (Earlybird) and pointing it at the Gmane NNTP server (news.gmane.org). There you can search for and subscribe to many of the haskell (and other FOSS) mail lists. Once subscribed to a list, you can have Earlybird download the most recent N or the entire archive of past messages. (Gmane's status is a bit unclear right now, but for now it still works extremely well.)
