Chris, thanks for the advice. However, there's a problem: I need this now.
So I'll have to hack on something in the meantime, if only to be able to
further my work. Additionally, I think the SearchIndex, as it was
undocumented, stood pitifully underused (it even works, for heaven's sake
:-). Apart from that, I haven't seen much work done on standalone Indexing
anyway, and if that's a sign of the future, then anything I do now will
probably be worth something.

It would be lovely if the whole mechanics of indexing didn't change; that
way less would break. Additionally, it would be nice if the new indexes
were made with the standalone DB users in mind; would prevent the
ZCatalog/Catalog issue we have at present.

Take care,
