Hi Aaron,

Yes, we're aware of this performance issue. There is a wiki page 
discussing how the search system could be improved:

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/AdvancedSearch

As far as I know nobody has started coding on this yet. And there are a 
few things that have to be decided before that can happen, for example 
if we should select a single indexer or use an abstraction layer 
(pyndexter[1] or some special type of plugins).

btw, I noticed that according to the homepage nucular does not work on 
NTFS. This would be a show stopper for us. Do you have any info about 
when/if this will be solved?

Cheers,
Jonas
