Hmm, I'm not certain if yet another search engine is really good, I mean:
So, how about a search API one can call an external indexing service?
I like this idea. Add a hook to call a plugin for: (1) indexing new messages, (2) moving/deleting messages, and (3) performing full text searches.
It seems reasonable these days with GB+ sized mailboxes, to violate this part of the IMAP RFC (2060) and use a powerful search engine like Lucene which doesn't support substring matches:
6.4.4. SEARCH Command .. In all search keys that use strings, a message matches the key if the string is a substring of the field.
