I think for most people the issue is more access to the DB so we can
modify or do our own hooks into it. And for really large sites,
scalibility- being able to do searches and digs at the same time.
One feature I'd like to see is a object for PHP and/or Perl so that
database driven sites can not only update their site, but the search
engine in real-time. Basically, never having to do another dig again.
And for that matter a PHP/mod_perl ready object for searches as well.
That way we can take advatage of persistent SQL sessions. Doing SQL hits
via a CGI will have a significant performance hit if you have to reconnect
to the DB each time, and it also saves a fork().
