I should mention that I'm using Karl Kleinpaste's messkeyw package,
which seems to do an excellent job of putting a message's keywords
into a header in the message. If there were some way of telling the
search/indexing engine to look only at those keywords, it might save
time and space.
Thanks,

Swish-e is not native to Windows, but it's suppposed to run. You
should check for the most recent build at the site,
<http://www.swish-e.org>.
Other open-source Windows search enignes include SWISH++,
Juggernautsearch, MPS information server, the JXTA package (Java).
But most of the fun stuff is on unix.
