Thanks for pointing, I will check :)

My mnogosearch extension also has "0" but it comes with a full manual. 
You can read and install it it quite easily even though you have to 
compile external search engine yourself. But even if you never worked 
with configure and make, manual will tell you exactly what you need to 
do. I just think it is a question of style. Developers hate to write 
manuals (I hate myself). But if manual is missing, developer leaves 
users in undetermined state - there is no reference, nothing to consult, 
nothing to check.

I guess commerce authors should stop any futher development and 
concentrate on two things:
- good manual
- spelling of english texts (there are huge amount of errors there, it 
is not ready for production use!)

I came here not to critisize or dcream without giving any proposals. I 
see this extension uses lots of new technologies and it ~may~ become 
very popular. So I want it to improve, this is why I ~rant~ :)
