Does it seem worth starting a new discussion about searching? The header of this one "OpenACS wish list" is a bit misleading since it has become almost exclusively about search.
Jerry, since you seem to be taking the lead over this, would it be too much to ask if you can put together a quick little wimpy point presentation about the strengths and weakness vis a vis OpenACS for htdig and the SWISH's? I know that you're very busy, but given the amount of information and knowledge you've gathered I bet it would be very helpful for the community in providing you with more support.
thanks.
