Wanna team up with me to build one?

The thing about Veronica-2 -- searching basd on titles
is that titles have to be have useful titiles :)

Often that may (or may not) be the case :)

And in either case you tend to end up searching for
resources (by title) rather then by resources (by content).

I think :)

I think full-text searching would complement Veronica-2 nicely IHMO
(but Cameron doesn't want to go that way... which is okay)

I was thinking of utilizing whoosh[1] and related tool(s).
