  For me, no.  I prefer mailing lists.

  Google.  Duck Duck Go.  Bing.  I know for Google and Duck, you can search
for (example):

	lpeg site:lua-users.org

and get results from the mailing list archive.

  Also, I have a copy of every email on this list since Oct 2009 and often
will search my own archive and then post links to the archive on
lua-users.org.

  I can only speak for myself, but I use mutt, a text-based mail user agent
on my own mail server (I use SSH to log into the command line on the server
and run mutt directly on the mail server).
