I know it's a bit much for your specific desire, but I've been using
offlineimap to download my All Mail folder from GMail, which I then
index with mairix, and then search mairix from within WL.  Mairix has
the ability to mairix-search-thread-this-article, which will give me
all the emails I've sent or received in that thread (and mighty fast,
too).  It also has the great side-effect of having access to all my
gmail whilst offline.

I'd be happy to share various config files in my setup if you're
interested.

Have a great weekend,
