There have been various requests to be able to index/search the X-label: header, amongst other things.
Rather than hard-wiring the indexing of specialist headers like this, I'm wondering if the capability ought to be customisable in some way. Maybe in the .mairixrc file, we could have some lines like custom 1 x-label custom 2 organization etc When a new database is created, these lines would cause some custom tables to be created within it. The database would remember the headers corresponding to each table. Then, a search could look like mairix 1:foobar d:6m- to find any message with the word 'foobar' in its x-label header within the last 6 months. Comments? Suggestions? Improvements? The one aspect I haven't thought much about is how the content of each custom header would be broken into tokens for indexing. For example, there are various options such as: 1. tokens are whitespace separated 2. anything in quotes has whitespace ignored 3. header contains email addresses which need to be handled in the way the to: etc headers are now. (useful for Sender: for example) 4. tokens are semicolon or comma separated etc. If there are any good ideas for how to handle these issues out there, + any other types of token separation that need to be considered, it would help a lot. -- Richard P.
