Rumors have it that people have been asking for an NT port of
freeWAIS-sf on and off, and the response was `have fun with the
coding'.  I don't know if anyone has actually stepped up and done it.

There are hooks for IMAP in nnir.el, that is, if you're reading mail
from an IMAP server, you can use its built-in search capability with
nnir.el.

If you have another program which can search in files I might add
stuff to nnir.el so that that can also be used.  What I need is a
program which accepts a query on stdin or on the command line and
which outputs a list of files, basically (the file name must be
identifiable somehow in the output).  If you have that and are willing
to do some extended testing, do not hesitate to contact me.
