Definitely on the near-term TODO. There was a patch to do this in a
limited way a few weeks back from Eyal Oren. I'm not sure if he's
planning on further work or not. Doing it "right" is a little
complicated.

Mostly in scroll-mode, with a little bit in line-cursor-mode to
move the cursor around, and maybe some in thread-view-mode to expand
messages before searching. To do highlighting, scroll-mode as well.

I'd be amenable to change. What should the global search command be
then?
