[Mailman-Developers] Postorius: Search Plugin for List

[Khushbu Parakh]

Hi, 

So right now UI is just in HTML with no CSS. I will add CSS later to make it in perfect position. 
I tried to keep it simpler. 
What I think is AJAX is better option cause reloading the page 
just to get search results is something we don't like. I mentioned JS because all I want to know is backend process behind search, nothing related to UI and proposing criteria is list_name only. 
If list_id is useful we can show it too. PFA Thanks, Steve, 

Best,
