IBM Research Labs has pushed out free e-mail search software called OmniFind Personal Email Search (IOPES) to find information buried, it says, in the "vast personal database that e-mail has become."

It claims it's a smart search and can identify the most relevant information in a search query and extrapolate what the user is trying to find.

It's supposed to interpret incomplete queries and find phone numbers, people, meeting, presentations, documents and images.

It's based on the open source Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) that IBM developed and sent over to the Apache Foundation.
