Mailman comes with a simple archiver called Pipermail, but this is only adequate for text-based archives.

Other search engines will work fine with Mailman. Most search engines are associated with the Archiver though, so you might want to look at the FAQ's for Mhonarc. You will find that HTdig is a heavy contender there as well. > > I would prefer using mailman, but sympa's integrated mail archiving and > search functions are a great incentive (I do like sf's implementation of > mailman and might consider it if its source was available to the community). > Well, it's source is right out there for all to look at.

Partly because I know it inside out, but also because the code is so well written and easy to modify.
