I think this last point is key. Most full-text search engines provide
config options for defining fields, or "facets", which in theory we
could set up to parse tags/properties/timestamps. My guess is that any
of the major contenders (solr, xapian, lucene) would work pretty much as
well as any of the others -- for our purposes, they probably only differ
in the details. Xapian might be considered "in the family" from a
license standpoint, but I don't know that that matters too much.
It would be fun to provide an Org indexing config for one of these
engines, and then build the Agenda on top of it.
