It looks like groups.io is a hosted platform, not a package we could install and run ourselves.
I'm still waiting for mailman3.
As for searching.... that's a separate issue and can be solved piecemeal. Indeed, we could potentially even add a framed google search if someone wants to create the appropriate pages... does some html hacker want to donate this work?

I'm on a few mailgroups. One has transferred recently from Yahoo to
Groups.io, and the overall impression on that list was favourable.
