I use startpage, front end for google, but I just start the search with
Gentoo being the first term.  That usually will turn up either a mailing
list thread or a forum post.  Usually.  I just find it odd that a distro
that has been around as long as Gentoo has can't even have a search tool
that returns useful results.  If they are going to make it this useless,
why have one at all?  Just put up a link to google that puts the
site:f.g.o in the box and let folks use that instead. 

Oh well.  At least I can search my local mailing list archives here.  ;-)
