No I think SQLite is probably fine. In the past before Evo changed to
SQLite both Beagle, and I think Tracker, could index email and one could
search for content inside the email, which of course is exactly what one
wants to do.

I'm just trying to find a way back to what we had 3 years ago.  It's one
of those crucial things for an enterprise desktop function.

The current search function in Evo doesn't work very well and in fact
crashes Evo from time to time.

So then you have full email indexing? I've followed all the instructions
but to no avail and this is with the latest Evolution (Ubuntu 10.10) and
Tracker from both the repository and compiled from the tracker site.
