IIRC Pipermail is orphaned code. Its relatively minimal, the author has abandoned it, and nothing has been done with it for years.
My own recommendation here is to NOT put search code into Pipermail or MailMan, but instead to add functioality so that custom HTML may be put into the various archive web pages. That HTML could then reference whatever search engine is installed at the local site (I use UdmSearch, other HT:DIG etc).

I had posted a message saying that I was willing (and am planning) on taking a stab at adding some example pages for adding search functionality. However, I am having a hard time locating where the "<MM-foo>" HTML tags are pre-interpreted. If someone would point me in the direction, I have an example 90% done and will even produce documentation!
And, I'd be more than happy to work with you, Garth.
Ciao!
