Wouldn't something like an inverted index that understands the format of
mail folders be better for searching? Isn't ifile better suited to
deciding where to store something?
A search script doesn't have to be fiendishly complex;
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/02/19/engine.html
is a nifty article about writing a vector-space search engine in Perl
with the following useful features:
* Searches take place in RAM, there is no disk or database access
* Queries can be arbitrarily long
* Users don't have to bother with Boolean logic or regular expressions
* It's easy to do 'find similar' searches on returned documents
* You can set up a 'saved results' basket, and do similarity
searches on the documents in it
