Is there a way to search Goggle Answers?  With the ever-increasing
number of questions (and answers) on the service, it would make sense
if there were an easy way to perform keyword searches of the
answers.google.com site using Google.  I tried to use Google's
Advanced Search and restrict the domain to answers.google.com (and
google.com, for that matter), but received no result - it appears that
Google has placed the answers.google.com site in its robots.txt file
to disallow spidering.  Is this due to the beta nature of the site? 
What gives?
