Hi Theo,
Thanks for pointing out the bug.
I would have thought that using either hostname would be equivalent, but
a quick test shows about 10x the number of hits for a search for "mutex"
with site:lists.cairographics.org instead of site:lists.freedesktop.org.
So I'd be glad to change this---only I can't find the file that holds
the change. I found a generic archidxhead.html file, but it's not the
one that has our customization here.
So if anyone can guess where the file to change is, I'll be happy to fix
this.

PS. In the (hopefully not distant) future, I'd like to be running our
own indexing for a searchable web archive for our mailing list, using
notmuch (http://notmuchmail.org). That's a much better plan than just
hoping that a global search engine will index our content.
