Yes it does. If nothing else, the archives are used to provide canonical URLs for referring to messages. What might not be clear is the need to run a search engine on the sourceware server, especially if it puts an awful load on the server at times and especially when "foo bar site:gcc.gnu.org" on Google works just fine. However, I have come across (rare) instances where Google does not show any results for such a query even though I can manually dig out such a message and the message was posted quite some time back.
