From bug 570759 comment 2:

"A user should be able to search for part of a url and get search results if those results match either the URL, the message or both."

Probably need to urlparse() [1] the URL and only index netloc and path (or so), so that a search for "http" doesn't become useless.

I am now indexing the url as well. However, due to the way the search engine works, I can only search for pieces that I split off from the URL properly.

Example: if the URL was http://www.example.co.uk/foo/bar.html, I am splitting it into:

example, co, uk, foo, bar.html and "example.co.uk" ("www" is pointless and omitted)

So you find the result if you search for any of these pieces, but not if you search for "www.example.co.uk" or "bar".

If we need it, we can further tweak this sometime.

Sounds good, I like that approach actually.
