- I'm not using ifile for searching. The problem is that for a
certain class of messages I'm having difficulties getting ifile
to work reliably. It's not putting things where I expect them to
be. Partly this is a problem with the email filter I have around
ifile not logging enough info, but mostly it's ifile not giving
the "right" answer.

- Exactly, I want it to make the right decision.

- Sounds like they reinvented WAIS. WAIS searching and ifile
sorting have a lot in common. Thanks for the pointer though.
