For me, the advantage wouldn't be search time - it would be convenience 
(when my laptop is disconnected from the net) and time to retrieve the 
emails themselves (esp. on dial-up).

So I'd be tempted to try Google Desktop Search on the whole downloaded 
database - using an http request to retrieve the results into your Rev 
app to gather and display the results.   (Though I should say I only had 
a cursory glance at GDS a couple of months ago for a project that didn't 
get done in the end - but I think it could do this easily).
