I'm very interested in this. I think it would be awful neat to have an
RSS-backed search engine, and this is definitely on the list of work for my
aggregator.

Question: Does your searcher only search the RSS metadata, or does it search
the whole content of the item. If it's only the metadata, I could load it
into my database and provide querying without having to pester your server.
