Just thinking about this probably fairly simple task, but it
seems a bit overwhelming. Suppose you want a searchable
archive of 9fans and all you have to start with is this single
150 MB file of ~46,000 messages. What do you do? The
answer isn't obvious to me.

P.S. I'm prepared to rely on existing searchable archives to
do this in real life. It's just that in the few minutes thought I've
given to this problem, I've become much more impressed
with those existing seachable archives and their very
quick responses.
