Scoring on Organization header?

Scoring on Organization header?

[Brent B. Powers]

I'm noticing that people are getting very fond of the Organization
header.  How much pain would it take to score on it without affecting
performance like Header would?

Cheers

It'd be very painful if you have xover currently, since your nntp server
won't have that information and would have to go looking through all of
the files.

NOV databases and xover are great for speed, but that performance comes
at the price of not indexing all of the headers.

As far as I know, it's impossible to score on the organization header
without loss of performance, as it is not included in the servers' NOV
databases.

If you hacked your server to include `Organization' in its NOV
database, and hack NNTP/Gnus to recognize it, you'd be able to score
on it.
