Hi Johan,
thanks again for the many words and explanations!
You also mentioned indexing each bodypart ("attachment") separately.
Why? ....
To my mind, there is no use case where it makes sense to search a
particular bodypart
I will give you the use case:
1.) User searches for "abcd"
2.) Lucene matches the searchterm (at least) two times:
- One email has the term in the plain message text (mail-1)
- One email contains five "file-attachment". One of this files matches
the search term (mail-2)
3.) The result list would show this:
1. mail-1 'subject'
'Abstract of the message-text'
2. mail-2 'subject'
Attachment with name 'filename.doc' contains 'Abstract of
file-content'
Another Use-Case would be an extended search, which allows to select if
"attached files"
should be searched (yes or no).
Greetings
