The following patches integrate the htdig (http://www.htdig.org/) search 
engine with Mailman.

Use the versions of these patches for MM 2.0.11 When you apply them to MM 
2.0.12 build directory you will get one complaint from patch 444884 which 
you I think you can safely ignore. When I have time I'll build and upload a 
revision of 444884 for 2.0.12 to get rid of this complaint. Output from 
applying both patches should look something like this:

mailman at mailman2:/mailman/build/mailman-2.0.12> patch -p1 < 
../patches/current/indexing-2.0.11-0.1.patch
patching file Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py
patching file Mailman/Defaults.py.in
mailman at mailman2:/mailman/build/mailman-2.0.12> patch -p1 < 
../patches/current/htdig-2.0.11-0.1.patch

You will find that patch 444884 adds a file INSTALL.htdig-mm to the MM 
2.0.12 build directory that has a fairly detailed description of how to set 
up the MM-htdig integration.
