Mailman response time...and Googling!!!!

[Athur Krishna]

Hi Sue,
 Google is good, but an In-house search would be the perfect solution,
 Have you tried using "htdig" for mailman, I think that is the most commonly 
used Archive search used with mailman. Although I'm not sure about how to 
implement but it might be a good start to work on..
