The forum <URL:https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas>
has all its messages archived online for web browsing at
<URL:http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/>.
So you can use any web search tool to search it. A good search engine
like DuckDuckGo will let you constrain the search to a particular subset
of the web:
site:http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas foo bar baz

We have generally-appicable services that index the web and make much
better search tools. I don't often find a site's own custom search tool
to be sufficiently better to use it, when DuckDuckGo is available.
