I'm not sure where things stand regarding search for mailman- however, I found Ian Hickshttp://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/commit-watchers-whatwg.org/' approach (of applying the HT-Dig capabilities to enhance a MM v2.0 instance interesting, but perhaps overkill and/or not quite right) but a good case-in-point for ideas.

It appears the archive at the above URL employs the indexing and htdig patches for Mailman 2,1 originally developed by Richard Barrett http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mm/index.html and now maintained by me http://www.msapiro.net/mm/.

I resolved my need for making 'search' on my lists practically achievable but in terms of overall integration into the fabric of mailman code, it is insufficient.

What more do you want?

If you want to see my search implementation, check out a prototype from me on my AWS instancehttp://ec2-54-224-162-128.compute-1.amazonaws.com/pipermail/mailman/ .

Please share your thoughts here or directly to me ;)

Your prototype looks fine, but what's behind /cgi-bin/search.py ?

Don't look for anything to be released for MM 2.1. The patches for htdig are available and other methods are referenced in the FAQ. If anything were to be released, it would be the htdig patches because that's what I use, but it's problematic because of the htdig dependency.

For Mailman 3 the intent is that archivers will be "plugable", and the defaults will be http://www.mail-archive.com and https://fedorahosted.org/hyperkitty/
