Please file a bug report if you don't think your bug is a duplicate of bug
6564. If you think this report describes the same bug, then feel free to add
the info there.

We use Mailman <http://www.list.org> for nautilus-list. I don't think it has
a search feature for the archive. On the other hand the archive is indexed
by search engines like any other mail, and I occasionally take advantage of
that. Many search engines even have a way to restrict a search to a certain
web server.
