To elaborate on that answer a little, all the list archives are at HTML 
pages with URLs which begin with that URL. Thus you can use web search 
engines to search the FFmpeg-user archives.  You need to learn how to 
tell the search engine to filter its results to only those under the 
list's URL.

For instance, I use the search engine DuckDuckGo. A search for "setpts 
site:http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/" gives me results from 
2021, 2018, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 in the first page. You can see 
them at this URL: 
<https://duckduckgo.com/?q=setpts+site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fffmpeg.org%2Fpipermail%2Fffmpeg-user%2F&t=ffab&ia=web>.
