 	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...

 	All that's needed is to put this somewhere in the archives and off 
we go.
