I think glimpse is pretty good. The real problem is what I suggested in
my previous post: we don't have consistent use of terms in questions, so
indexing anything is a real pain. Indices are much easier to construct
searches against, but if you can't build them, you have a problem.
I'll make no promises, but after a rathe dramatic change in my personal
life, I appear to have rather more time on my hands, so I'll see if I
can't throw together some sort of distributed indexing of the ML and the
FAQ. That might get us everything we need.
