Edward,

Maybe you'd be interested in adding full text indexing and search to Leo?  Or, 
adding support for a full text indexing and search engine (like Recoll, my 
preference).

Such support would require something like the following:

   * A way for recoll to (access and then) associate indexed words with a 
specific Leo nodes (during indexing).
   * A way for recoll to cause Leo to display a specific node, ideally with 
found words highlighted, during (after) search.

Recoll already works in a somewhat similar fashion for mbox files--it 
understands the mbox header which separates emails in an mbox file (during 
indexing), and then invokes a simple email reader (it is well known, but I 
always forget the name--maybe nmail??) to display specific emails.

If you are interested, I can try to provide more information and put you in 
touch with the developer of Recoll.  I suspect you would enjoy working with 
him.

As an aside, this would take the place of the home grown project I'm (very 
slowly) working on, to create a Linux based replacement for askSam.
