Format search results.  The idea is that if you are using HTML::Template
for a site you can use swish, and the provided search script or mod_perl
handler and use your existing templates to generate the results.  

In the search script setup there's a setting:

        template => {
            package         => 'TemplateHTMLTemplate',
            options         => {
                filename            => 'swish.tmpl',
                die_on_bad_params   => 0,
                loop_context_vars   => 1,
                cache               => 1,
            },

The the script uses the "TemplateHTMLTemplate" (nice name ;) module to map
the search results to a template object.  The swish.tmpl is there as an
example.

Of course, it's rather easy to just write a program to call swish and parse
the search results yourself and build the template.
