[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Searching the Listserve

[Jason Loeffler]

We only have to index the Pipermail archives with a fulltext indexer and
add a few search interface templates to the Mailman front-end. The Swish-E
indexer is most commonly used with listservs, though I reckon Sphinx would
work just as well, though with additional features and complexity we
probably don't need. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help with
this.
