You don't understand, I might need that hilarious Cracked listicle from fifteen years ago!
I don't think it indexes the text content, but you could certainly set something up with an external application that indexes the archived pages and lets you search them. Did a quick search, and in one GitHub issue someone is talking about setting up Sonic Search for that purpose: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/956#issuecomment-1320587158
EDIT: It seems Sonic is actually a search system developed specifically for ArchiveBox full text search. I'm gonna try it out too.
EDIT: Works great
