That'd be John Fieber, and I believe he's made any number of public requests for help in his quest for a better search engine. The current one is based on wais and generally hated (if for no other reason than the fact that it likes to dump core a lot of the time) but it's all we could find for free. > I recently found www.nexial.nl/search.html.

It works very very well. That still doesn't solve our problem of needing something to run on www.freebsd.org, however. This Nexial thing may work very very well, but is it also very very available under reasonable terms? :-) I guess I'll ask them and try to find out.
