Correct. Mailman does not have any integrated search function. It is possible to replace the built-in archive function with a third-party option that may incorporate a search function (e.g., mhonarc). It is also possible to apply patches to integrate a search function into Mailman (e.g., ht:dig or Namazu), but these are only semi-official patches at best. The general subject of making your archives searchable is covered at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.011.htp>. For Namazu, see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.008.htp>. > Is there an easy way to replace the UI for the archives so that they are > searchable and return a hit-list of posts (preferable) or threads > (second best)? If your archives are publicly accessible, you can search them with Google (or other web search engines), just like you can do with the archives of the mailman-users mailing list (see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.018.htp>). -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Consultant & Author LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> Slides from Invited Talks: <http://tinyurl.com/tj6q4> 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
