That sounds great... index all the things! From my (quick) reading of Solr,
which I'd coincidentally only heard of the day before, you need at least some
subset of a Java EE installation, right? 

I really need to get on that. In the meantime (and for anyone else wanting a
quick and dirty indexed mailbox search), I found that mairix does a good job from
the shell or from within mutt as well.
