Erik is close - this module actually provides a PHP interface to the proprietary Muscat 3.6 system
which OpenMuscat was originally being written to replace.
OpenMuscat had a rather different API to Muscat 3.6.
BrightStation (the company which owned Muscat) closed down the OpenMuscat project and later ceased
trading, but OpenMuscat lived on, renamed Xapian due to complaints about trademark infringement from
BrightStation. Xapian has its
own PHP bindings.
I'd be suprised if this module is used by anyone now. I don't think Muscat 3.6 has been
available to buy for over 5 years, and even back then most external developers used a higher level
API than the one which this module wraps.
