[sugar] Fwd: Journal fulltext search

[Ryan Pavlik]

Would something like OTS (Open Text Summarizer: 
http://libots.sourceforge.net/ ) be worthwhile for such a purpose?  
There is an OTS plugin for regular desktop AbiWord that still works, as 
far as I know, and it is pretty uncanny how well it can summarize, but I 
don't know much more about it than that.
