Rick, I want to keep it local. By keeping it local and writing something myself I can tailor the search engine to what will help me the most, and internet connectivity is not required.
Nothing against the arslist.org search - I am glad it's there, but I have never cared for it. It takes a lot of search attempts to find what I am looking for. At times even when I am certain that a post exists I can not locate it.

However, it's somewhat slow searching the email body within Outlook. For Jan 2005 to Jan 2007 the .pst file is 700MB. I am getting close to simply writing something that extracts the Outlook emails and imports them into a database (either Remedy, SQL Server, or Access) just so I can more efficiently search the ARS List postings. When the data is in a regular database I can index everything. Before I head down this road has anyone else done this?
