There isn't really much to say about this I think: Squat: Supposed to be completely transparent, but I don't like its performance. The indexing speed is too slow. And it seems like the incremental indexing rebuilds the index too often. (I used to use it, but every time I wanted to do a search, it spent a few minutes on indexing, even when there hadn't been all that many new messages.) Needs a redesign some day. Solr: You can either configure it to use X-FAST-TEXT/X-FAST-BODY searches, which aren't supported by any clients (the idea was to modify your webmail to use them), or you could configure it to use the regular TEXT/BODY searches and be usable transparently, but that violates IMAP RFC. There's also FUZZY search extension draft, which is mainly about making X-FAST-* standardized and perhaps supported by clients some day.
