No more hassle with indexers burning my CPU, of course.

It has search algorithms implemented by people who specialize in search. Hence the idea to use that for search functionality in KDEPIM. That was a sound architectural desisgn, delegate to software that specializes in what you are trying to do. It wasn't forseeable that this would take so long to stabilize. Cheers, Kevin
