Thanks for the NUCULAR mention (http://nucular.sourceforge.net).  It
certainly doesn't meet all the requirements requested (very few users
yet, some
features missing).  Please give it a look, however.  It's easy to use
and fast.  How fast it is compared to others I can't say, especially
since
some of the numbers I see quoted out there are really incredible (how
can an indexer by faster than "cp"?) -- I suspect some sort of
trickery,
frankly.

Anyway, if you want a feature like proximity searching or
some sort of internationalization support (it works with unicode, but
that's probably not enough), please let me know.  I focused on
the core indexing and retrieval functionality, and I think a lot of
additional features can be added easily.
