Sure it does. No web search engines have access to my list server's
private list archives, and none will. That's an implied promise to my
list admins and their subscribers. Those lists are private, and having a
search engine index them gives nonsubscribers a point of access, whether
or not they can open up the original list server's presentation of the
archive. But subscribers should still have the ability to search the
lists they're subscribed to.
