Hi,

We are pleased to announce that Sylph-Searcher 1.0.0 is released.

Sylph-Searcher is a client program for searching mail boxes. Supported
mail box format is MH style, i.e. 1 mail = 1 file.

Sylph-Searcher uses tsearch2 for full text search, thus searching is
very fast. For example, ~300,000 mails or ~1.7GB DB is confortably
searched by Sylph-Searcher. Sylph-Searcher runs on UNIX/Linux/Windows.

Sylph-Searcher can be downloaded from:

http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/download.html#searcher

enjoy,

Can you give a brief explanation of how sylpheed and
sylph-searcher correlate?  Sylpheed doesn't seem to
need postgres, sylph-searcher does ... ?

Yes, sylpheed does not need PostgreSQL. sylph-searcher is an
independent application and actually is consisted of two programs:
"syldbimport" and "sylph-searcher". syldbimport reads given mail files
and stores them into PostgreSQL database, indexing with
tsearch2. sylph-searcher does full text searching the database and
shows the result.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks - that clarifies things.  Do you have plans to make an
optional integration of Sylpheed w/ postgres in the long run,
so one wouldn't have to do the import step before being able
to query the mail?

Yes, we have been discussing that. I will tell your opinion to the
slyph-searcher developer.
