* If you're considering publishing channel logs, think it through. * The 
freenode

If you're publishing logs on an ongoing basis, your channel topic should 
reflect that fact. Be sure to provide a way for users to make comments 
without logging, and get permission from the channel owners before you 
start. If you're thinking of "anonymizing" your logs (removing 
information that identifies the specific users), be aware that it's 
difficult to do it well—replies and general context often provide 
identifying information which is hard to filter.

If you just want to publish a single conversation, be careful to get 
permission from each participant. Provide as much context as you can. 
Avoid the temptation to publish or distribute logs without permission in 
order to portray someone in a bad light. The reputation you save will 
most likely be your own. / network is an interactive environment. Even 
on public channels, most users don't weigh their comments with the idea 
that they'll be enshrined in perpetuity. For that reason, few 
participants publish logs.

could we setup a system that allows logging or records of search against 
the logs, being the only way they could be available? i can offer help 
setting this up.
