Local search has the advantages of offline availability, not relying on
potentially dubious search engine indexing, and the benefits of LOCKSS (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOCKSS ).

Hm. Not sure why those search engines haven't indexed the list archive.
I can't see a robots.txt blocking them. Maybe the listmaster knows?
Anyway, as a workaround in the meantime, there's a web-searchable (in
principle, at least!) copy of the list archive available here:

Happy searching!
