Quite some time ago, I recall that someone proposed a news system based
on keywords -- or maybe it was a complete indexing of the entire content
of each message -- in place of the current "news group" structure.

Who was it that proposed this idea?  Did anything ever come of it (per-
haps a research project, since of course USENET was never reorganized in
this way)?
