Someone is/was talking about using PostgreSQL for the backend for this?
Basically, making the mailing list archives searchable...

We don't have free-text searching, I don't believe, but anyone have an
idea on what would be involved in having it?

Great, but to be useful you need free-text search too.

Talk to Maarten Boekhold, M.Boekhold@et.tudelft.nl.  I just asked him
about this because we suggested the CLUSTER change, and I wanted to get
new performance numbers.  I also asked him for a copy for contrib.

I am going to add him to the TODO contrib list.  I think he has
contributed patches in the past, but is not on the list.

A new type of index splitting and indexing words
working on text and large objects would be
a good starting point.
