They're calling it Intermedia now ... http://www.oracle.com/intermedia/

I have yet to meet an Oracle customer who likes it.

I think there's a lot of agreement that this is an area where Postgres 
could use some work.  I know Oleg Bartunov has done some interesting 
work with Postgres and the search engine at the Russian portal site 
"Rambler" ... http://www.rambler.ru/ .  Oleg, could you talk a bit about 
what you guys did?

If there's interest in spinning up a separate project to sit outside the 
database, a la Intermedia or Verity, we'd be happy to sponsor such a 
thing on our GreatBridge.org project hosting site (CVS, bug tracking, 
mail lists, etc.)

Regards,
Ned
