Not offhand, but I'd be willing to do some research and make some
recommendations. I'd add ranking and updating (rather than rebuilding
completely) to my wish-list. Back before I discovered Wilma, I was
checking out Swish-E and htdig as well. I liked the fact that they
ranked the results, but Swish-E development seemed a little stale,
and htdig seemed like overkill.

I know, but I tend to like to leave the "real" programs alone and
isolate my abom^H^H^H^Hmodificiations in case there's another release.
Perhaps the best thing is to write a separate subroutine.

I'd certainly like to see development continue. I can't see how
archives are useful without the search facility.
