Don/Mohan,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm hoping to work on all this over the holidays. I have most of the *functionality* ready to go for these suggestions, but I ran into some serious scalability problems with some of the more complex queries after I indexed the 3 million messages in our database.

I've gained an appreciation for the technology behind Altavista! If we had only a few hundred thousand messages, performance wouldn't be a problem because everything could be kept in memory. I think I can fix it with some bigger RAIDs (and more space-hogging-but-high-performance indexing).
