Yes, looks like there is a problem where we are displaying double search results. We'll look at it this week and fix that right up.
MHonArc is all written in Perl. Lucene is built on Java, but we use it via a Python wrapper. The Mail Archive's wrapping layers and sorting code is written mostly in shell, with some PHP and Python sprinkled about. Thanks On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 6:47 PM, M. G.
