I did not look at the sources, but as discussed with Davey yesterday, this is definitively the way. Providing a similar interface as mnogosearch module. Then another "problem" in the future, we cannot create a PECL module for swhish-e, as it is released under GPL. But it's quit easy to implement one and publish it somewhere (there is already an early alpha project on sourceforge). I asked Davey to get in touch with the swish-e team to see if they agree to let us publish a php extension under lgpl or bsd. hth pierre
