If your 'email archives' are flat text files how about grep?  Something like 

grep -n 'search phrase' $(find top_of_path -print )

This might seem more of a software/programming question than a SPARC/Solaris
question, but I'm trying to put together some way to search through several
thousand flies I have on my SPARC (email archives), where you can search
for a particular word or phrase, and the program creates a listing of matching filenames.

I was thinking of using mySQL, but I know nothing about SQL (yet).
I was also thinking of using a secondary Linux machine (x86) to do the processing,
and use NFS (after reading some NFS faqs).  

If anyone knows of such a program that's free (GNU or whatnot), please let me know.
Thanks,
