Best way to search questions list archives

Hello, Ernie.

Apparently freebsd-questions@ archive is indexed by most search engines,
including Google, Bing, Yandex and DuckDuckGo. Try following query:

site:https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/ (request)

Latest messages are indexed not fast enough though. And I'm not sure
whether _all_ messages are indexed.

I think I could index mailing lists archives and build a simple search
engine if anyone would use it. It's not rockets science (PostgreSQL +
GIN index OR Sphinx, simple import script in Python) and I have a spare
server.
