Very true! The indexing is also *very* fast.
I'm using a very simple "integration" into Gnus (I'm using nnml for
normal mail and nnfolder for archive groups). I created a directory
~/Mail/search-results and put the following in ~/.mairixrc:
#v+
base=~/Mail
mh=mail...:list...
mbox=archive/sent-mail/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]:archive/sent-news
mformat=mh
mfolder=search-results
database=/home/mxp/.mairix_db
#v-
I then added ~/Mail/search-results as a foreign nnmh group in Gnus (I
also made it "permanently visible" so that it's easier to find). For
searching I simply use something like
M-! mairix f:larsi RET g
in the Group buffer and I can then browse the results in the
search-results group.
The only minor annoyances are that I have to press g to update the
group before entering it the first time and that the message counts
are (understandably) *way* off. Apart from that I'm very satisfied
with this setup: It's easy, fast, and transparent.
