[Mailman-Users] Search Archive Feature?

[Jo Brooks]

For searching, I personally use the list archives found at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ rather than the one at python.org.

The searches are fast, and there are actually several technical
lists there that I read/search (bind, dhcp).

It's all database driven...probably a lot more than you'd want to
take on for a site unless you've got thousands of lists like they
do, but it is an alternative for someone adventurous  :)
