I posted a patch a while back that just did a simple glob search. It worked
well enough for smallish repos, but testing it on the netbsd's pcksrc
repository (>2Gib) it was way too slow. I have since started implementing a
tokenized search (storing only token deltas, e.g. which search terms where
added and removed in each new version of a file), but only got as far as
building the indexed tables, without any optimization such as caching and
without actually testing it since I didn't yet implement the search
function using the index, when I started finals and haven't had a chance to
get back to it. If anyone wants this partial code, I can post it.
