That is surprisingly complicated if you want the correct order however (due to the way date based names are used). That is, i could donate a simply AWK/Unix tools (thus line) based CGI script which searches in the text archives of Mailman in case of interest. I call it brutesearch.sh. It works pretty fine, especially for Unix people who are used to linewise searching. One thing i really dislike here is that you need to manually adjust the HTML templates each and every time to include the search form. (Again there may be a mechanism which avoids that.) |There are many types of existing setups with some search / indexer \ |software |to advance mailmans archive with search functionality. | |or just (if it's a public archive): |https://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20make%20the%20archives%20searchable Well, i am just saving MBOX in addition to the normal Mailman "pipermail" text dump for archiving purposes (for hopefully a better future), and use this simple shell script i have mentioned for searching. It works pretty well. Just ask if you want it. It has no dependencies but awk, printf, find, sort and xargs. It can surely be improved too, but well. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
