If you want to be able to search private archives, the htdig patch is the best thing I know of.


 If so, do i only need to apply [ #444879 ] Archive indexer control to
 improve indexing and   [ #444884 ] Integration of Mailman & htdig for
 archive search since I'm running 2.1.5?

That should do it.

 Finally, is there any particular reason why a search box hasn't been
 included in the archives for mailman by default?

That's a good question. The best answer that I can come up with is that the Mailman developers have been focused on other areas, and have apparently felt so far that anyone who wants to enable searching on private archives is adequately served by the htdig patches. I'm not sure why those patches have not been incorporated into the mainstream code base.
