Right, the current search results (even &x=t) won't show
non-matching messages.

Not sure if it'll be necessary, or not.  Maybe the relevancies can be
links to individual messages on a single line:

   * common subject here for 4 matches below
     [56%] [42%] [12%] [4%]

Wouldn't that overlap with a browser's native "Find"
functionality in the $MESSAGE_ID/T/ and $MESSAGE_ID/t/ cases?

But it could be a possibility for the $MESSAGE_ID/ (no /[tT])
endpoints, I suppose...

Anyways, I'll try to get to this once the git/cgit integration
stuff is done (soon, I hope; but life stuff interfering :<)
