A custom dictionary to carefully add a few synonyms might go a long
way. I often need to try a number of permutations of likely words
to get relevant hits.

Including the subject line in searches, with a higher weight than
message body text, would also be great.

Possibly it would help to be able to search on From or To fields
(including CC in the To). Sometimes you have some recollection who
participated in a discussion, but can't find the magic terms to get
a small result set which includes the right discussion.

I really think some pretty minor tweaks in these areas would go a
very long way toward making the archive searches more useful.
