That URL appears to be malformed. It should probably be:

http://tug.org/mailman/mmsearch/ 
fptex?config=fptex;method=and;format=short;sort=score;words=pdftex;page= 
10

It is being constructed by the htdig's htsearch program.

For one of the lists with the problem, what is the value of the  
'script_name:' variable in the list's htdig conf file; look in  
$prefix/archives/private/<listname>/htdig/<listname>.conf

I would expect the following line in the fptex.conf file:

script_name: http://tug.org/mailman/mmsearch/fptex

If this is wrong, that is the cause of your problem but then I have  
have to figure out why it is wrong.
