I keep revisiting this issue. ;-)
What works great these days wrt archive searching and Mailman 2.1.x? Is there anything as simple as a tested patch? What about private archives, and can the search interface be integrated into Mailman's pages?
Tia,

Richard Barrett's patches for integrating ht://dig with Mailman are tested and in use and available for all reasonably current versions. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.011.htp>, and note that "#444879 - Archive indexer control to improve indexing" is prerequisite to "#444884 - Integration of Mailman & htdig for archive search".
These patches work with both private and public archives, and the search form is on Mailman's archive index page.
Of course, this requires you to separately install ht://dig. Perhaps you are looking for a patch that includes the search engine.

Thanks Mark. I did find that URL after sending my initial email. Richard's patches seem like exactly what I am looking for. ht://dig is no problem, in fact it is what I am using now. Having the two more integrated was my goal, and it looks like I am on the right track now.
Thanks,
