I am planning to hack the code but there seems to be at least one person
that doesn't think that this is a good idea.  You can go ahead and send
me the FSF forms but I'd be curious to hear what others think about this.

If there is a concensus that effort in this area should focus providing
an interface to external search tools, I think that it would probably be
best left to other individuals.  I would be happy to discuss the pros and
cons of the various alternatives.

My inclination would be to provide some indexing and search mechanism
within the existing framework.  There are several reasons for this, not
the least of which is that it fits well with my motivation for doing this
in the first place.
