[PD] faster Pd archive search

For frustrated Pd list archive searchers:
http://google.com/search?num=50&q=++site%3Aiem.kug.ac.at+iem+pd++

A good bookmark or linkbar link or whatever your browser uses.

Why?
- Pd list archive search http://iem.kug.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list/
is quite slow. For folks as impatient as me, Google is the solution.
- the archive files can't be easily downloaded as a block
- puts search burden on fast distributed machines on a fast backbone.

Notes:
"+pd" term selects only Pd lists at iem.
"++" puts spaces in the search form. Saves typing.
"+iem" term stops ads in search results.

Suggestions for other, better search tools are invited.
