How to search Linux Kernel changelogs? (USB disconnect problem)

[Omer Zak]

During the last several months, I was having a problem of USB mouse
disconnecting and reconnecting very often in my Linux system (Debian
Wheezy, kernels 3.16.0-4-amd64 and 4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64). Recently a
similar problem started to affect also my printer.

Hardware problems were ruled out yesterday in the computer repair lab.

I found some information which suggested that it has to do with USB
power control, and that there are several problems with USB handling in
general.

I also saw that other people complain about similar problems, often
without a solution to their problems.

So I wanted to search the Linux Kernel changelogs for any recent changes
in the USB subsystem.

Unfortunately I found no such search function.
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ has all changelogs in its
subdirectories but no search function.
The search function in http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges is broken -
I get Web searches even when I choose "This site".

What do you do when you need to search Linux kernel changesets for
relevant changes?
