Searching the archives (was RE: [mythtv-users] How about using a Ram disk for the ringbuffer tospeed up channel change?)

[Chris Delis]

Is there a search engine for the list archives?  The only site I know of
is (yes I'm new to this list in case you haven't yet figured that
out ;-):

http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/

Currently, if I want to search the archives, I can either go into each
month and do a title search.  If I want to do a message body search,
I can download the complete archive and search the whole lot.

Is there a better way?
