searching chimera archieve
Dear Elaine, Long time back, I posted a question on *searching chimera archive for a keyword*. Just for an example, i gave "salt bridge" as a key word in the following link, but it dose nt show me the queries on salt bridge in chimera archive. I dnt undertand why ?. It would helpful for chimera loves like me not to repeat same queries and also to understand all ways of analyzing salt bridge based on previous queries. I am sorry if this question is not relevant to chimera technical issues. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/feedback.html Cheers, Bala
Searching Chimera mailing lists is implemented using Google. My first guess regarding the problem you encountered is that Google has not re-indexed our site yet. For example, the term "salt bridge" does not find anything, but "putative binding" returns a message that was posted earlier. There does seem to be some oddities, eg an even earlier message with "letter reference" in its title is not found by Google. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with Google to be able to explain the problems. My suspicion is that the messages posted in the current month are found sporadically because the web pages are rebuilt regularly and perhaps Google is scanning us during the rebuilding process. Once the messages are rotated into static archives at the end of the month, they should be found consistently. I can only suggest that, if the search function is not returning hits for a recent message, you try viewing the threads in the archive for the current month. If you've noticed older messages not being found, please let me know and I will dig further. Conrad Bala subramanian wrote:

Hi Bala, Although not helpful for your "salt bridge" example, in general I recommend searching the documentation (Help... Search Documentation in the Chimera menu) before searching the chimera-users archive. I will try to put something in the documentation that mentions salt bridges, although it may not happen right away (many many things need documentation!).
