Hey people,
It is not a homework assignment, and there are two problems with Google.

1. It doesn't index recent links that have been generated until sometime
later.

2. Google's results:
https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&q=site:http://lists.pdxlinux.org/pipermail/plug/+programming+FORTRAN&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjj5vvgjJPzAhX1HzQIHWz2Ac4QgwN6BAgBEAE&biw=1920&bih=921

Duckduckgo's results:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Flists.pdxlinux.org%2Fpipermail%2Fplug%2F+programming+FORTRAN&t=iphone&ia=web

Neither is complete, and if there is something like Google that gives
everything and indexes these pages in the same day every time then I won't
have to make a search engine.

Now, there is a thing called typesense that could work, and maybe doing the
search engine of a collection of links or a collection of files is an
option to make it offline to deal with the traffic problem, and then make a
program to update the files or links with new ones.
