And what Mailman support do you currently get from cPanel that you'd be
giving up? Or do you mean that if you patch any piece, they won't
support anything including stuff you haven't touched?

If by 'internal' you mean private as opposed to public you are fairly
limited. For public archives, you can use the site: and inurl: Google
search options, e.g. add site:mail.python.org inurl:mailman-users to
your Google search terms to search this list. See
<https://wiki.list.org/x/4030514>.

You can install local search engines such as htdig on your server
without the htdig integration patches. The search form would be a
non-Mailman web page rather than being integrated with Mailman's archive
pages, but you wouldn't need to patch Mailman.
