Subject: [boost] how to search this list efficiently ?

i have a few questions about boost that might have been discussed and
answered on this list before. there seems a convention to add the topic
in square brackets to the subject as e.g. [thread], [preprocessor] or
[review], etc.

how do i search the list archive by these topics ?

i see there is http://search.gmane.org/ but that only supports search by
keywords in the entire message and seems to ignore [square brackets].
there is also custom google search on the boost homepage which i can
further filter down to the mailing lists by adding site:lists.boost.org,
but it also ignores square brackets, even when put in double quotes and
does not seem to allow sorting by date or support a threaded display.
lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/ doesn't support searching at all.

is there a trick how to search the mailing list archives properly ?
