[alfa] administrivia: experimental search engine

[Richard Welty <rwelty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the new search engine, htdig, is there, but will need a bit of work to get
into good, functional shape. the url for the test form is:

/alfa/archive/search.html

despite the URL, it actually indexes the bmw digest, alfa digest, and ihc
digest, so you may want to include the list name in a query, e.g. query
for "alfa oxygen sensor" or "bmw oxygen sensor".

as i gain experience, i'll try and tweak things. note also that htdig
isn't a "real time" engine, it has to be updated nightly and so won't
show the most recent postings.

i'm having mixed feelings about it; it's not really tuned to index mailing
list archives. i may change engines yet again after i do some more
research.
