I wrote my own search engine for the docs back when the site was having
problems last year, and myself and some others needed a searchable
interface. It actually spidered the raw sgml pages themselves, and was
fairly quick. I can resurrect this if anyone is interested. It runs
with Perl and PostgreSQL and nothing else. :) Of course, it could probably
be modified to feed it's sgml parsing output to tsearch as well.

In the meantime, could we please switch to a simple google search? It
would require changing one or two lines of HTML source, and at least
there would be *something* until we get everything sorted out.
