searching list archives
Hi,
Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I am trying
to set up a system to allow searching of individual list archives, as
well as a global search. I currently have this set up with swish-e.
However, I would like something that will automatically create the
indexes and config files for a list as it is created. Is there any sort
of turnkey solution for this?

Hello, Thanks for your response! The only issue here is that my mailman install is running under cpanel. Is it possible to apply these patches to a cpanel modified mailman install? If not, is my only alternative to replace cpanel's provided mailman version? I have access to root on the server.

Replacing cPanel's Mailman is probably tricky, and if you actually have lists of the same name in more than one domain, that's not supported in standard GNU Mailman.
I think the indexing/htdig patches would port fairly easily to cPanel, but the only way to know is to try.

The patch does a couple of things. It adds tags in the html archive pages that are use to suppress indexing of "archive boilerplate", and it adds the search form for each list's archive to the TOC for that list and actually creates the htdig configurations and cgi that are used to generate indexes and searches for that list.
If you want a global search, it seems to me that you could just use htdig or another search engine to index and search the entire archive without patching Mailman at all or at least not beyond the indexing patch.
