Your query implies that past messages to this list are archived somewhere. Is this the case ?

On another list I subscribe to, the more learned participants got tired of reinventing the wheel
(re-answering questions that had been posed & answered a number of times previously), and have just set
up an internal Google-like search engine for that list. The idea being that it will cut down on such
retreads. Reportedly, this search engine is implemented via a Perl script (?), or something of that
nature. I tend to doubt it would be compatible with the list software in use _here_, or else perhaps
we could "borrow" it.

But for sure you need to have archived messages to search through. Theirs go back to around 1989.
