Yes, it requires a reindex to take effect, which takes ~2 days
on my lore mirror. The biggest problem is MUAs are likely to
cull References: when threads get too long; so accuracy gets
lost.
Supporting /$MSGID/?q=... doesn't seem like the worst idea,
actually; since I've seen some web forums (phpBB maybe?) have a
"search in thread" function.
thread:{sub-query} is ideal; and I wouldn't rule out doing any
combination of the three (I don't like separating before/after).
