I'm not sure about searchable, but have a look at:

Tamar sent me the patches she used for for mhonarc, but I haven't had the
time to check them.

Regarding "searchable": see my previous question about search engines.
htdig won't do.

I also tried pipermail that comes with mailman. It doesn't come with a
built-in search facility. It seems to be able to handle quoted-printable
encoded parts well (recent version. mailman 2.0.1 had a problem with that.
mailman 2.0.9 no longer had this problem, IIRC)

iso-8859-8 (iso-8859-8-i, and windows-1255, actually) are 8bit Hebrew. But
utf-8 messages are becoming more and more common. Be sure to tet that this
is working too.
