Thanks for the report.  However, this is not a coreutils bug, but more 
likely an issue in the web archive mailing list software. 
Unfortunately, I'm not sure where best to direct your mail to reach the 
right webmaster.  I'm closing this issue, not because it is resolved, 
but because it is not a coreutils problem; feel free to continue 
replying to the thread if you track down further information on which 
webmaster can help you with your list searching issues.  In the future, 
mail like this would better be directed to the coreutils <at> gnu.org 
discussion list, where it does not open up a spurious bug report.

"bug-coreutils" does not appear anywhere in that URL.
You have to specify _which_ list to search.

Visiting https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/
and typing something in the search box takes you to:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=something&submit=Search!&idxname=bug-coreutils&max=20&result=normal&sort=score

So whoever you pass this report on to will want to know how you came up
with the initial URL in the first place, without an idxname field.
