Ask HN: Is there a service to index and search Gmail?

I just noticed GMail doesn't do search anymore. Or rather, they do some weird partial search. I'm trying to get the +4 and other details for my mom's new address and I know it's in an email I sent two years ago, but no amount of searching can find it. Disturbingly, the subject line of the message shows up, but I can't get the body.

I supposed I could do takeout and then just grep through the messages for the part of the message I remember. But that seems like overkill.

Is there a service out there that will index mail messages sent to/from gmail and allow you to search them? That would be a cool product.

The obvious solution is to call my mom, but I don't want to admit I didn't write her address down (instead assuming gmail would maintain it.)
