Yeah, i gave it a look. I don't like much the fact that its java based - 
tomcat complicates things specially in Debian environment where you 
can't install "everything" what you want. Also, i'm not sure how well 
all thing is documented. I think i'll stick with mnogosearch if it still 
works on new TYPO3 installation :-) Thx!
