Is there a web front-end for http://irclogs.ubuntu.com that allows me to search through all the IRC chat logs?
I tried to google for site:irclogs.ubuntu.com +search-term
but that doesn't seem to work reliably.
I'm not looking for a solution that fetches any of those files. :-)
Currently, this is not possible.
