For a mailman-based list that I run I was able to easily add a google-based search field to the archives's HTML template. You can see the result here: http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/ And the HTML snippet necessary is as simple as this, (obviously with a substitution for the correct looneylabs.com host name for the sitsearch field): <form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search";> <input type="text" name="q" size="31" maxlength="255" value="" /> <input type="submit" value="Google Search" /> <input type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value="lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/" /> </form> So someone with administrative access to the archives might be able to easily make an addition like that. -Carl
