Rich - what did you do to get that URL?

The string mbox does not appear in view-source:https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-rfc8398bis/

(and that lamps draft is the only URL I see in the link you provided, so I'm having trouble connecting this to SPASM?)

I clicked on this link: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-rfc8398bis/reviewrequest/15278/complete/ and then I clicked on "search mail archives and got the message posted above.

This also happened when I started working on an ARTART review, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jmap-sieve/reviewrequest/15289/complete/ I got a similar error:

No results found ('No results: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/export/mbox/?qdr=c&start_date=2023-08-02&email_list=art&q=subject%3A%28draft-ietf-jmap-sieve%29&as=1 -> No results found') (searched for ["draft-ietf-jmap-sieve"](https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/search/?qdr=c&start_date=2023-08-02&email_list=art&q=subject%3A%28draft-ietf-jmap-sieve%29&as=1), corresponding [export](https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/export/mbox/?qdr=c&start_date=2023-08-02&email_list=art&q=subject%3A%28draft-ietf-jmap-sieve%29&as=1)). You have to fill in link and content yourself.

Again, nothing found and the group is wrong.

So the workflow is that you've sent a review to the list already, and now you're wanting to tell the datatracker to go find the review you sent and the form is not populating the field based on the search response? (I'm trying to duplicate and have not yet gotten to something that results in an mbox download).

I think you are in this part of the form?

I can't get it to misbehave in the way you describe.

But, one note - it is intentional that the link is into the review team's archive and not the group's archive.

Aha. Light dawns on Marblehead, as they say. Perhaps the message could be tweaked. Change

Search mail archive subjects for:

To

Search directorate mail archive subjects for:

The part of this issue that talks about the un-intuitive link displayed when the search fails has been moved to the mailarchive for the creation of a purposed API for the datatracker to use.

The remaining part of this issue is to accept the small text change Rich proposes.

@richsalz Would it be clearer to say Search secdir@ietf.org mail archive subjects for:?

@pselkirk sure that's fine.
