That was actually a sick joke about writing my own ncurses-based browser
from within Sup. But to answer what I think was a serious question about
a web version of sup itself, a couple people have expressed a desire to
write this, which I think is a little ironic, but which I'm certainly
not opposed to.
The mode system (in contrast with the buffer system) is not *explicitly*
tied to ncurses but probably has all sorts of implicit ties. I.e. it
might be possible to come up with some explicit mapping of modes to web
pages and commands to web form buttons, but my personal suspicion is
that the paradigms are so radically different that that level of
integration will be impossible.
But certainly searching the index and pulling up threads, messages, etc
all is done through nice programmatic interfaces, and I've started
documenting this on the wiki, mostly from that email I sent you about
sup-cli.

Just added --search to SVN. Thanks!
