Whenever this topic comes up on the list, I wonder why people don't just use Google Advanced
Search.  From google, click on "Advanced Search", then enter "http://stat.ethz.ch" into the Domain
text box and proceed from there.  Then one can search any of the ETHZ hosted mailing lists.  No
need to wait for the searchable archive maintainer to update the archives.  This has always worked
just fine for me.
