That's one thing worth considering...not to rip off the idea too much, but
would we rather try plugging into something like Glipse to provide search
capabilities instead of rolling our own?  Is the core of Glimpse C? If it
is, I don't know how we'd be able to compete speed-wise with a Python-only
approach, and seeing as Glimpse is the result of a substantial university
project (U of Arizona, right?), I'd bet we'd be lucky to equal its
accuracy.  Then again, that's *super* annoying for the users to have to go
and separately install Glimpse...and it's likely overkill (seeing as it's
capable of doing whole sites, so plugging it in to just do some mail
archives might be a little excessive...although doing so would likely give
good scalability for _huge_ lists).
