Hello,

Has a fulltext message searching feature been considered? I think it would
be very handy. It could use a MySQL table to store hashes of the message
text (with all HTML, nontext characters, and other formatting removed to
reduce size). When a search is performed, it could utilize MySQL's FULLTEXT
feature to deliver lightning fast search results similar to gmail, hotmail,
etc.

It could maybe have an automated indexer that works in the background
indexing one or two unindexed messages at a time on each ajax request from
the browser (after the data is returned to the browser to prevent lagging).

The feature could of course be turned off (maybe off by default?) if the
user didn't want to use the extra diskspace/processor cycles.

Does this sound like something you'd like to see in RC? If so, I can
develop the backend for this system if somebody else can write the
interface/ajax integration.

Thanks,
Ben
