[kdepim-users] KMail fast searching by local indexing

[Josh Stephenson]

Indexing of mail already seems to work somewhat if you set up nepomuk and 
strigi right. Searching through Dolphin only returns the raw email data files 
with no way to pinpoint what you were searching for.  Searching through 
Krunner will let get you right to the specific mail containing your phrase. The 
way that Krunner lists the results could be a little better though.
