Hello all,

I just noticed that the help page on lore.kernel.org/git does not mention the possibility of searching for messages using Gmane id’s, as the public-inbox.org/git help page does. 

The search works though, it’s just undocumented, so I thought I’d share; I don’t know how much control we have on the lore.kernel.org public-inbox installation.

Unless you're getting load-balanced to differently configured
instances, I think it's luck that the "gmane:" queries you tried
work.

gmane:  doesn't seem configured on lore at all.  Compare:

	https://lore.kernel.org/git/?q=gmane:1
	https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:1

I haven't configured them because I don't understand what benefit they 
serve. If someone can explain their benefit, I can consider adding this 
to the roadmap.
