Mailman version 2.1.16 -- Search of *private* archives?
Is it possible to have a search (eg by keyword) feature available for private archives with Mailman version 2.1.16? There is no obvious setting for it.

OK, I have installed Namazu, which will do what I want, *BUT* pipermail.pl is missing from the tarball I downloaded from the Namazu website. Where can I get that file. At this point, the search works, but the URI's are wrong (local file name, not the proper mailman URL).

I can't answer directly, but see <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558138>.

I figured out how to hack the Namazu code to incldue a "replacement" function and passed it on to the re-index function. I think that will work. (Perl is almost as bad as APL -- the only thing about Perl is that it uses "normal" ASCII, but still is pretty much write-only code, like APL.)

Hi,
It sounds like you now have it sorted with Namazu, but for what it's worth there is an excellent guide to install Namazu "out of the box" on Mailman 2.1.* at:
http://bakacsin.ki.iif.hu/~kissg/project/mailman+namazu/And no issues with Private archives or incorrect URLs.

It is not clear if any of the options on that page will work for *private* archives. Most seem to be using an *external* third party search engine. I'm guessing I need to write a script (*I* don't know phthon and don't really like PHP) to do the searching and indexing on my server.

Ther HtDig branch at <https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/htdig> definitely works with private archives. I use it.
If you don't want to install that branch which is based on 2.1.29+, there is a 2.1.16 version of Richard Barrett's htdig and indexing patches on which this is based at <https://www.msapiro.net/mm/index_htdig.patch.2.1.16>. Also see <https://www.msapiro.net/mm/_README>
You can get htdig at <http://htdig.sourceforge.net/files/htdig-3.2.0b6.tar.gz>.
