search broken?

It's not broken, it's dysfunctional.

The way that htdig was integrated into mailman (not by me), is that is 
reindexes everything in the entire archive every night. That's rather silly, 
but not nearly trivial to change, due to the way it's integrated into 
mailman.

I simply haven't had time to mess with anything the past week or two, work 
has decided to pretty much monopolize my waking moments. It'll pass.

The search function doesn't work while htdig is rebuilding the indexes. The 
index build starts every night at midnight, and doesn't finish till about 
4pm or so. As a result, the search function generally only works from about 
4pm till midnight, CST.

I will get around to fixing it sometime, in the not TOO terribly distant 
future.
