Hi George,

Greetings.  I am not sure what is "search engine indexing" related to TheBat!.  

Presumably there is some Virtual Mailbox indexing.

====================

Here is a different improvement proposal.
For Ritlabs consideration:

For Searching and Virtual Mailboxes.

Allow Search for Subject and Recipient combined.
Or Subject and Recipient plus Subject.

The reason would be to avoid full Header searches for speed and to leave out extraneous "hits".

Often you might have two or three search strings with an OR.  
To do Sender and Recipient three becomes six lines.  

===================

Are you say about search engine indexing?

Here is a slightly quirky idea for a helpful improvement.

FIrst, I notice that if you have many Virtual Mailboxes, it can take awhile for them to populate after the reboot.  

And I think there is a "holdover" flag .. "Store State between Sessions" but I have not seen it work, and I think I always have it checked yes. (This is an interesting question, if our readers can share their experiences on this, much appreciated. If I can get the holdover to work, the rest of this suggestion becomes not so consequential.)

Beyond that, probably the best way to keep the time lag down (this also applies to the length of time of searches) is to avoid "Text" and "Message Source"  and even "Headers" as the fields used.  Try to use Sender, Recipient and Subject -- the scanning will be 100 times quicker.  However, that is not always applicable, because often you would like to see also any reference in text to the item or person being searched.  

Let us say you reboot, and there is a Virtual Folder lag ... maybe an hour or more to completion. (I tend to reboot once or twice a day, just for crisper response time.)

We know how easy, and helpful, it is to make a Virtual Folder out of a Search.  Use it all the time. In those lag periods, the reverse would be superb.  Make a search out of a Virtual Folder, automatically, without recreating line by line.

Your thoughts?
