A *mirrorable* search engine?  I didn't see this, but that is
definitely a killer feature.  If you aren't using PHP, Zope, or
whatever, that's utterly awesome.

I would still like to see us move forward with both options.
Different search engines give different results, and I'd like to see
us offer as much support as possible.  We're going to find bugs in
both, I'm sure.  :-)
