We are investigating alternatives to indexed_search, mainly because of 
these reasons:
- No simple way to really block indexing of access-restricted pages (so 
not even page titles are shown if not logged in)
- on some sites, indexing just doesn't work (for no apparent reason like 
the usual "no_cache" problems...)

an_searchit is no alternative since the SQL produced by this extension 
is a mess and usually blows up the db server (huge joins if you use it 
to search in many extension tables).

mnoGoSearch or DataParkSearch (mnoGo fork) seem to be the only OS 
search/indexing engines that are capable of indexing UTF-8 content, 
ht:dig fails because of this.

In short: yes, very much interested in the above ;) We'll put in some 
effort in this, as well.

Cheers,
Chris
