For the second step, I would rather use an indexing engine such as namazu, and nnir to search in the index. You can tell namazu to index the Keyword header, and then you can specify search strings such as "+keyword:" to nnir (included in recent Gnus versions) and get the result set in a few seconds. Of course you have to schedule the indexer to run regularly, but that's OK, namazu has an incremental index builder so rerunning it is really quick.
