Here's a point to make about threading: Is it really needed? With a few
exceptions, by searching for a word in the subject of a thread, all
emails in that thread should make it to the search.
Besides that, I took the search engine for a spin by looking for works
that, frankly, shouldn't be sought. Couldn't find "Artemis's Lover"
except its MSTings (Megane, if you're still around - was this ever
released on the FFML?); the works of Jack Ji, on the other hand, were
easily available. Checked most of the features; have to be careful
about case and format in some instances, but that's no big deal. It
works, and is a good search engine for the archives. Good job! Thanks.
