Someone has expressed concern to me that the cypherpunks archives are searchable via Lycos. Said person doesn't mind having the archives searchable to the smaller audience of people who go to the we-site, but is unhappy about net-wide searches turning up cypherpunks articles.
Lycos only has a database of abstracts of the archive (which is still commendable) and the other databases have smallish local archives of the list. There's no way to do a compleat search at present (other than manual labor and writing 'bots). A true search engine at the site would be a godsend. I presume that people who post want their posts read.
