I've long offered a license for my software--- a very fast and powerfull fielded
(even allows for one to search for words in the same line, sentence or
paragraph) fulltext S/R engine--- for this purpose but did not find much
interest--- it runs under Solaris/SPARC, Linux(32-bit) and shall shortly be
released for freeBSD 64-bit AMD--- and even some (misplaced) concern about
content rights. I had a service running for a short while on one of my machines
but I did not notice anyone (other than myself) really using it.

If there is real interest this time I can relaunch a service.
