[Bioperl-l] Re: Bioperl-l digest, Vol 1 #554 - 2 msgs

Greetings Elizabeth:

  The mechanisms I have used to search bioperl are to use either the built
in search capability at http://www.bioperl.org/search/search.cgi or google
(http://www.google.com) with a search line of

	+bioperl +pipermail +SpecificQueryForBioperl

Google is nice in that the documents are cached in case the other servers
are inaccessible for any reason.

->Subject: [Bioperl-l] Newbie question regarding the BioPerl Archive
->
->It sounds like the developers already have their hands full for a
->while.  (Understatement?!?) But when things settle down a little, can
->I hedge a newbie suggestion?  (This may be something that could help
->out all of the potential newbie BioPerl people from the O'Reilly
->conference as well.)
->
->I was delighted to find out that there was a Bioperl archive page:
->http://bio.perl.org/pipermail/bioperl-l/
->
->Is there some way to search for a topic in the archive without having
->to download it in its entirety or read through subjects for each month
->of the archive?  I don't have enough space to download it and it is a
->chore to go through each month searching for a needle in a haystack.
->
->Also, is there an FAQ page for Bioperl?
->
->Sorry to add more to your plate.  I just would just like to be able to
->solve a lot of my problems due to inexperience with Bioperl without
->taking up anyone's time on the list.  I'll bet a lot of other newbies
->feel somewhat self-conscious about that too.
->
->Thanks so much!
