It may not be what you expected, but this is wrong.
The instructions tell you how to download your Gmail emails to mbox format, so they are instructions on how to index your Gmail emails.

In a way, though the instructions specifically handle GMail labels which aren't present in other mbox files. But it's pretty general for any mbox email dump.

Also, any new emails you received since exporting your mailbox will not be available.

I mean, isn't this obvious if you're fetching a file representing your inbox?

Yes. I'm just adding to Cyberdog's comment that it's not immediately obvious from the title of the article that the instructions are for indexing a static file.
The title makes it sound like it's instructions to setup up an alternative API to Gmail search. I was thinking something like Algolia.

So really, these instructions are for indexing any mbox-formatted mailbox.
