Right, but if I wanted to search for something with the @search command, it would have to search for tons of log files instead of one database. For example, if I wanted to search when someone said "badunk-a-dunk". Turns out someone said it 241days ago; it would take forever to search through all those log files to find when they did that, whereas it'd be a simple search command in a database...
Edit: yeah, it'd be for longterm.
