 If the ZSearch Interface was properly documented and fully featured (ie
 defined how you search an object that supports the interface, and how
 you would index objects using that interface) then we wouldn't be stuck
 with the ZCatalog. It would enable people to write SQLIndexers,
 ZPatterns-based Catalogs and anything else they want, all of which would
 be freely interchangeable with the ZCatalog.

I would love to see this happen. Sounds like a fishbowl project to me!
