Great! In that case I will try to install it using cpan after the new release. There are 2 more things I would like to know. Is Lucy able to index and search for UTF-8 encoded documents? (because if I understood right, KinoSearch can't do that.) And, is it possible to run 2 or more separate processes in parallel that index new data in the same time? Thanks. Octavian
