Making a Mailman legacy archive searchable?
Is there anything open-source to make a Mailman legacy archive searchable? What would be useful is a way for visitors to a website to be able to search the Mailman archives using a keyword and have it display those mail messages. I'm also thinking of having a tag cloud made up of the most commonly used words from the given Mailman archive. So when one of those tag cloud words is clicked on it lists as an index those messages. Any suggestions? Thanks!

FreeWAIS (oldie but still goodie), Namazu, and Xapian come to mind. They all require some effort on the part of the user, though. I don't know of anything that you can trivially install (eg, from RPM or .deb).

Working out-of-the-box is always nice, but I wasn't expecting it entirely. Anyone happen to have a URL to someone doing searchable Mailman archives, just so I could see what others have done as an example? Thanks!

if the archive is public, a simple google site:XXX link should do the trick

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/MoA9>.
I use ht://dig. See the link at the bottom of the FAQ.
It's not a very good example, most of my lists have private arrchives, but see <http://www.grizz.org/pipermail/gpc-test/> for an example of what it looks like.

Whoosh is technology I'm looking at for Mailman 3.

I've been using ht://Dig together with my update of Richard Barrett's Mailman integration patches for some time.
The latest 2.1.18 patch can be found at <http://www.msapiro.net/mm/index_htdig.patch.2.1.18> (mirrored at <http://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/mm/index_htdig.patch.2.1.18>).
Other relevant things of interest in that directory are:
_README -> description of what's there
INSTALL.htdig-mm.html -> Richards installation document
htdig/ - ht://Dig documentation
nightly_htdig
rundig / patches to files of the same name to implement and
use an 'update' option to rundig to update rather
than rebuild existing search indexes from scratch.
Also, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/MoA9>.
