IIRC Pipermail is orphaned code.  Its relatively minimal, the author 
has abandoned it, and nothing has been done with it for years.

My own recommendation here is to NOT put search code into Pipermail
or MailMan, but instead to add functioality so that custom HTML may
be put into the various archive web pages.  That HTML could then
reference whatever search engine is installed at the local site (I
use UdmSearch, other HT:DIG etc).
