I have compared /usr/local/mailman/templates/en/TOC_htsearch.html with the
output the lists are putting on the Archives page. They match:

     <p>
     To search this archive fill in the following form:
     </p>
     <p>
       <form method="post" action="%(mmsearchcgi)s">
       <font size="-1">
       Match: <select name="method">
         <option value="and">All
         <option value="or">Any
         <option value="boolean">Boolean
       </select>
       Format: <select name="format">
         <option value="short">Short
         <option value="long">Long
       </select>
       Sort by: <select name="sort">
         <option value="score">Score
         <option value="time">Time
         <option value="title">Title
         <option value="revscore">Reverse Score
         <option value="revtime">Reverse Time
         <option value="revtitle">Reverse Title
       </select>
       </font>
       <input type="hidden" name="config"
value="%(listname)s%(htsearchconf)s">
       <!-- input type="hidden" name="restrict" value="">
       <input type="hidden" name="exclude" value="" -->
       <br>
       Search:
         <input type="text" size="30" name="words" value="">
         <input type="submit" value="Search">
       </form>
     </p>
     <p>
         <STRONG>Note:</STRONG>The archive search index was last rebuilt at

They all appear... but the searching still fails.

I did notice this:

htdig Archives Access Failure
The requested list cannot be accessed. mngwedding:mngwedding.htsearch
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you want to make another attempt to access a list archive then go via
the list users information page.

If this problem persists then please e-mail the following information to
the mailman at lists.wingfoot.org:

    https://www.wingfoot.org/mailman/private/mngwedding/
    /mailman/mmsearch/mngwedding

That file does not exist anywhere on my hard drive (mngwedding.htsearch).
I think the problem is that the file itself is
mngwedding.htsearch.conf....

> The blow_away_htdig etc routine I described and as described in
> INSTALL.htdig-mm should renew per-list search forms from the
> TOC_htsearch.html template.

*nod* That, at least, appears to have worked. Now to get it to look at the
right .conf files :)

Thanks again, Richard :)
