For the code no such function exists. You will have to make do with downloading the code from CVS and using local tools to grep and search through it. As it stands cgf has already mentioned the page that tells you quite clearly how to download from CVS and (if you are a contributor) how to upload as well. The mailing list does have a search function. Go to the lists page (http://cygwin.com/lists.html) and choose the list you want to search. There is a nice search box on each mailing list so that you can look for previous reports of an issue.
