True, but that finds emails.  The search I have finds bugs (well, bug reports
anyway).  Specifically, I have the following function:

create or replace function bugvector(bugid bigint)
returns tsvector language 'sql' as $$
select tsvagg(       setweight(to_tsvector(substr(body(msg), 1, 50*1024)), 'D')       ||
setweight(to_tsvector(header_value(msg,'Subject')), 'C')
 
)
from emails
where bug = $1
$$ strict;

which, as you can see, collects into one tsvector all the emails associated
with that particular bug.  So a search hit is for the whole bug.  There's
probably some search artifacts here.  I suspect a bug with a long email thread
will be ranked higher than a one with a short thread.  Perhaps that's ok
though.
