I should have been more clear wrt meetup. A lot of youngsters these days appear to look on there .. along with meetup and facebook. So if you want to expand the group and get the word out you may want to consider putting up some pages on those sites and link those back to seapig.org. leverage each outlet for what makes sense wrt seapig.
afa search is concerned - you already have it :) https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Alists.seapig.org+nimret see https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/136861?hl=en just put up a simple search form on seapig.org that just posts to that URL with the search term(s) at the end assuming you don't want to use CSE directly of course. I wouldn't be surprised if CSE just leverages the aforementioned feature of the google search engine cheers, - Nimret Sandhu http://www.nimret.org On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 9:59 PM, Pat Tressel <[email protected]> wrote: > > > wonder if it can handle mbox. >> >> IIRC , mailman stores the archives as plain old HTML. >> >> Then they could argue that you could use an arbitrary search engine, >> so no need to write a custom one.
