How to search mail archives?

When I click "search the mail lists" at
http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/FrontPage, I get:
  http://lists.wxwindows.org/search/
which is 404 Not Found.

Not sure if anyone wants to fix the link or axe it from the wiki page if
that feature is no longer available.

Also, I can see the messages at:
http://lists.wxwindows.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi/11 but I don't see a
search feature. I can sort of search via Google with the domain name
(for example "colour site:lists.wxwindows.org"), but there's no
guarantee it's picking up everything (in fact it doesn't) plus you
can't limit which mailbox/url AFAIK.

Is there a hidden list search feature somewhere?

Thanks, I've fixed it. The new URL is http://lists.wxwindows.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi but it doesn't work very well. We've been struggling with SunSite.dk (our server host) to get a search engine that works but no success yet.

It isn't scanning past the first page of messages because the archive uses query strings to get to the others and (I think) Google assumes that's too dynamic and so doesn't fetch them...
