: I just checked popular search services and it seems that neither : lucidimagination search nor search-lucene support this:
it really depends on what you want to do ... most people i know who index email want to included quoted portions in the message because it's part of hte context of the message ... if you are looking for emails from "Jim" send on day "X" about "Foo" then shouldn't a message match even if Jim never wrote the word "Foo" himself but it appeared in the quoted text he was commenting on several times? your opinion may vary, but that's the reasoning i've heard behind why people index quoted portions even when they've identified them for the purposes of display which is what seems to be happening in the lucid example you cited... : http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/954e8589ebbc4b16/terminating_slashes_in_url_normalization ...Jukka sent that message in plain text, but the lucid system detected the quoted portion and converted it to an html blockquote tag. -Hoss
