Is this worth reworking for Mailman 2?

I've created a HOWTO on including SWISH-E searching into list archives. It's available at http://www.valko.org/mailmanswish-e/. The changes are rolled into my 1.1 installation, and I'll upgrade it to 2.0 as soon as it comes out of beta.
Drop me a line if you have comments or questions,

I think the only change would be a new diff against HyperArch.py.
I have followed your instructions and (think I) have it working on my site. But I noticed swish-e is s l o w to index my archives. Have you or anyone been able to get swish++ doing the same thing? I don't see a quick cgi available for swish++. (Yes, I'm mostly lazy, but also don't have much time to write something, especially if it already exists.)
Thanks!

Did I say slow? Expensive is what I really meant. I started indexing my main list 20 hrs ago, and it's still running. This is on an Athlon 950 pc with Linux. It's using nearly 400 MB of memory (ram & swap) and climbing. This is an archive with just under 45,000 messages.
Wrong tool for the job, I'd guess. :-) Time to try another indexer. Not sure I want to deal with swish++'s attitude though...
Anyone have a recipe for a different local search engine w/mailman?
Thanks!
