Because nobody has built it yet?  Oleg's stuff is nice, but we want
something that we can build into the existing web sites, not a standalone
site ...

I keep searching the web hoping someone has come up with a 'tsearch2'
based search engine that does the spidering, but, unless its sitting right
in front of my eyes and I'm not seeing it, I haven't found it yet :(

Out of everything I've found so far, mnogosearch is one of the best ... I
just wish I could figure out where the bottleneck for it was, since, from
reading their docs, their method of storing the data doesn't appear to be
particularly off.  I'm tempted to try their caching storage manager, and
getting away from SQL totally, but I *really* want to showcase PostgreSQL
on this :(
