Thanks in advance: it's a lot easier to search the "one big FAQ".

BTW, since we're on the topic: has anyone thought about providing a
"simple FAQish search" form? What I mean: when I wanna know something
about Cygwin, I gather search terms, then

0 pull up the one big FAQ, and search it (with browser find)

1 pull up the one big UG, and search it (with browser find)

2 archive-search cygwin, cygwin-xfree, etc via their forms

ISTMT It Would Be Nice, and not too difficult, to provide

* a "FAQish search form" (a textfield and submit button,
  just like the archive search forms)

* that would frontend a script that automated the 3 searches above,
  and returned a hit page

Granted, it would be work, but it would go a long way toward
{automating, easing, improving the likelihood that folks will
actually}

or at least 2 outta 3 ...
