This is totally cool. The engineer of this worked on V-Twin which is totally
kickass search engine technology he developed at Apple, probably some of the
best stuff developed in a long time. It is now integrated into the core of
the MacOS. Very cool.

I used to alpha/beta test it back in the day under NDA disclosure. The
problem with it is that it was only implemented in C++ and ran on MacOS so I
couldn't use it (I wasn't about to learn C++ and the MacOS was taking a nose
dive at the time). Regardless, the RFP written up on it is extremely well
done and showed the power of his software.

I totally look forward to integrating this software into our tools. One
problem with it is that it seems that only the .class files are distributed
with it. I guess the files are in CVS though. The other problem is that it
is GPL. ;-(
