Use an external archiver that lets you control the HTML generation
for your archives (eg MHonArc).  

  http://www.kanga.nu/archives/

You can find the RC files I use for MHonArc for Kanga.Nu under;

  ftp://ftp.kanga.nu/pub/Kanga.Nu/MHonArc/

Then us an external search engine ala UdmSearch:

  http://search.mnogo.ru/

While this can be, and has been done. I'd suggest that it is easier
to just subscribe an address that points to the appropriate MHonArc
scripts and handle the archiving that way (this is what I do).
