It is completely rubbish. I don't know why you are bothered to post
your spam here. If it is so good then people would go there willingly
but in your case you need to spam these wonderful newsgroups.

Can you be more specific why you reacted so angrily?
That http://www.trumphurst.com/cpplibs/cpplibs.php looks like what he
claims that it is, a list of C++ libraries and also search
button seems to work.

How should noobs who search for a library find it? They go to stack
overflow where their asking to recommend a library for something will be
closed as off topic under 3 minutes. ;)

Duckduckgo -- https://duckduckgo.com -- is what I use mostly.
They can search on github, sourceforge, bitbucket, etc.
They could also ask here and sometimes do. It's not easy,
but if you keep looking, you will eventually find something
good.

It's a monthly posting, going many many years back.
 
It used to be posted to clc++ and clc++m, and possibly news.answers, but
now the clc++m group is dead.
 
The problem with alternatives is that there are too dang many of them.
However, one alternative that has an air of authority (not quite at the
level of Nikki Locke's list, but still) is <url:
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/links/libs>.
 
 
Cheers & hth.,

And rightly so, such questions are subjective and argumentative. Thankfully, nobody in this group is argumentative.
