Because fossil stores artifacts as zlib compressed deltas, full text searching using the existing fossil SQLite database is not possible. One would either have to create a separate database containing the full set of artifacts or create a program to reconstruct each artifact of the database and do a search on each artifact separately. Does anybody have a better idea?
