I had posted a message saying that I was willing (and am planning)
on taking a stab at adding some example pages for adding search
functionality.  However, I am having a hard time locating where the 
"<MM-foo>" HTML tags are pre-interpreted.  If someone would point me
in the direction, I have an example 90% done and will even produce
documentation!

And, I'd be more than happy to work with you, Garth.

Ciao!
