I don't have many thoughts at this point mostly questions. What the requirements of the protocols that use search? Is IMAP the only one? MAPI? (I need to do some reading).
Is simple keyword/pattern search enough, or do we need to consider terms together (locality, ordering, etc.)? How are various types of searches expressed? Does the index need to be up to date with regards to the Mailbox/Mail Store, could we update asynchronously? Can we be pluggable and leverage the database to do the heavy lifting (if it has functionality to do so) and support a fall back solution for lesser DBs (e.g. HSQL) that is functionaly equivilent? Is this necessary? I'm not trying to get answers for these now, but throw up a some points of information to steer the implemenation (I'm sure there will be others). I will have a think about some of these during M4 (I'll probably just play with a few tools then forget about it :-). I agree it is unlikely we will be able, or need, to produce anything usable until M5. It will probably have to evolve over several milestones. I think it will be a bit of a tough nut to crack and will probably require a few people weighing in on it, at least from the design perspective. Mike.
