Glimpse is fine if you have a smallish archive to index.  However, I
have nearly 300Mbytes of mail over a 10-year-plus period, and
glimpseindex is exceptionally prone to falling over due to some error
in memory allocation, such that (when I was still using glimpse with
nnir) my daily glimpseindex script consisted of about 8 different
invocations separated with "||" and varying only by the -M value.

It's a nightmarish program in some ways.  Once you've got an index,
however, glimpse searching works nicely.
