Even images support in Emacs (which is admittedly young and unevolved)
already supports advanced features like :pointer and :map (see the
node "Image Descriptors"). And I wasn't talking about simple text
properties that just change faces or the size of the characters, of
course. What about properties that need to evaluate Lisp forms or
depend on Lisp-level variables?

I have no idea.

The difficulties is not with searching, the difficulties are with
maintaining many overlays.
