Bug Description

One early and consistent source of confusion with Launchpad mailing lists involves the redirection from http://lists.launchpad.net to https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp. While this redirection makes sense because MHonArc doesn't provide a list overview page, it is confusing quite a few users.

An idea that has come up is to put a search page on http://lists.launchpad.net. This would allow you to search across all Launchpad archives.

Part of the confusion probably stems from your announcement email saying that the archives could be found at that URL.
