Namazu (http://www.namazu.org/) will create a searchable. You need shell access to the server to install it and it leverages the existing Mailman archive web interface. It works quite well. With a nightly cron job, the index is kept up-to-date.

Hi,

I run a list for members of an organization. Recently I was asked by a member if the archives had a search function. With MM2 they don't, I know. This is a private list, so I don't want it publicly searchable. Does anyone know of a web application that can be deployed on a Linux server which will go through a list's archives, generate a searchable index, and allow members (possibly using their mailing list Email and password, or maybe something else) to access it?

Thanks,

Jayson

There is an up to date branch at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/ that integrates the htdig http://htdig.sourceforge.net/ search engine with Mailman 2.1.

A bit "heavier" and batteries not included, but I was thinking of pulling my mailboxes into Solr. It comes with a "sample" search UI that may be sufficient.

Haven't gotten a round tuit yet though.
