Enzo, do I guess correctly that Mailman 2.x / pipermail with add-on search software was considered and deemed not good enough? My suspicion is 'yes' and that there's good reason to so think. Long decades ago, there was a brief vogue for such search software to add to Web sites. I remember that Webglimpse and HtDig were popular circa 2002. Here's a list of such things from an academic paper about them: ASPSeek, BBDBot, Dat- apark, ebhath, Eureka, ht://Dig, Indri, ISearch, IXE, Lucene, Managing Gigabytes (MG), MG4J, mnoGoSearch, MPS Information Server, Namazu, Nutch, Omega, OmniFind IBM Yahoo! Ed., OpenFTS, PLWeb, SWISH-E, SWISH++, Terrier, WAIS/ freeWAIS, WebGlimpse, XML Query Engine, XMLSearch, Zebra, and Zettair. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/f751/546cd86faefa2c7a4642166643df4c7cc6af.pdf I literally never got around to trying running even one of them, ever, and they seem to be severely out of fashion. I suspect that trying even a best-of-breed offering would show frustrating limits resulting from the serach facility treating mailing list archives as just a mass of text without taking into account their structure. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
