RFE: Full-text search in meeting logs

[hhorak]

My common use case is to search for a meeting where some keyword was mentioned. For example, when I want to refresh what was decision about problem "foo", I'd like to find all meetings and logs that mentioned "foo".

It would be also useful to have the searched term highlighted in the log.

We discussed this issue in the very early stages of mote. In order to implement any kind of full text sesrch, we would likely have to do indexing, perhaps with something such as Whoosh or expect queries to take a long time. I'm not sure how long queries would take if we simply searched through all files direcrly, but that likely wouldn't be a good option.

I think the balance here is how much we need such a feature in light of the large development efforts we would likely need to implement such a feature.
