I imported them all into Thunderbird to be able to search locally, as all
archive search tools seem to be worse than any of the search sites in
determining relevance or providing *all* relevant results newest first, while
the builtin tools allow searching on header field combos, and there is always
grep/sed/awk thru the mozmsgs maildirs for the really fuzzy searches.

Your previous reply was probably the best that can be done with pipermail
archives on mailman 2.1, although I am surprised you did not go to mailman 3
with hyperkitty on the new servers.
