I'd like to be able to send a command like this:

 search listname "query string"

..and get back a list of messages sent to listname that match. To do this,
I need a way of hooking in one or two programs. The first, obviously, is a
the search front-end that takes the listname and the query, calls a search
engine, and returns some result text.

The second is a hook called for each message archived, which passes the
necessary information to the search back-end for it to pull it out of the
archive and add it to the index.

By the way, I've got a cute little full-text search engine module that I'm
nearly ready to unleash on the world..
