I rather think it's the site and not your browser. When I enter a
search, I also get the same "can't find the server" error. I've tried
using eww, conkeror and firefox - all give the same error. Should have
tried it before sending you the URL! Umm, I don't really know what to
suggest next.

Best wishes,

Colin.

Gmane went down last summer, changed hands and has not been
completely resurrected yet: the nntp portion works but the
search capability is not. See

   http://home.gmane.org/

Disappointingly, there has been no update since last September.

IME, searching list.gnu.org is an exercise in frustration. I think the
hope was that gmane search would be back shortly, but that
increasingly looks like a pipe dream.

FWIW: Although I read the mailing list through the gmane newsgroup, I
did not turn off the mailing list completely: I subscribe to the
digests which I save locally. That's what I use for searching.

Is http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode any good?

When I visit the URL that you provided at dir.gmane.org, the page loads.  
However, when I enter a search term in the textbox and press enter, I get the 
same result as before.  This is using Chrome.  Cyberfox says simply that it 
can't find the server. Perhaps Chrome is confusing an unresponsive server for a 
DNS failure.

Thank you for responding.  Apologies for reverse message quoting...
