It runs incrementally on new messages - any particular + message only gets scanned once in the lifetime of the index file. + * The search mode populates a "virtual" maildir (or MH) folder with symlinks + which point to the real messages. This folder can be opened as usual in + your mail program. (Note, if messages are in mbox folders, copies are + made. Similarly if the virtual folder has mbox format, it is filled with + copies of the matched messages.) + * The search mode is very fast. + * Indexing and searching works on the basis of words. The index file + tabulates which words occur in which parts (particular headers + body) of + which messages. |
