IMHO it's relevant (you decide if it's worth a new thread)

Actually I would love to search (tag?!?) for packages/services/machines
(profiles?) the same way I query my email database with notmuch: it
would give me a fourth dimension in "DevOps" :-)

IMHO this is not a priority, but probably should go in the roadmap as a
wishlist

I cannot find Guile in Xapian bindings [1] but NotDeft [2] have some
Emacs Lisp code to interact with Xapian

WDYT?

Thanks, Gio'
