I just remembered something I did for a list I host. There's no
direct search for the archives in pipermail but I stumbled across
something on Google and made a search form that will search the list
archive as well as the 'net. You can see it at -

Just ender something like "Gaijin Yokozuna" for a search term to see
results. The code is a small javascript thingy. You can set it up
without the 'net search, too. Just go to the above URL and view code.
You'll need our own key, though. If I were motivated I'd go searching for
the actual information but I'm afraid I'm to lazy for that.
Ah heck, I looked it up anyway. You can find info by searching
Google for "uds api" or start at these URL's...
Developer's Guide - Google AJAX Search API - Google Code
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/
Google AJAX Search API Tutorial - Google Code University - Google Code
http://code.google.com/edu/ajax/tutorials/ajax-search-api.html
All that's needed is to put this somewhere in the archives and off
we go.
