I'm not sure if its a custom search engine or not. Its not readily clear 
what they're using as a search engine for the archives. I do know that 
Swish-e is very powerful and quite easy to configure and use as linux 
search engines go. I was looking at htdig at one time because it comes 
with most distros of linux and that gave be a headache. Wrong frame of 
mind at the time I suppose.
