Does retaining S::I support impose a significant hassle now?
Yes.
Okay. I was assuming that it would be possible to just clone stuff, so that we end up with a new supersearch.cgi and a notverygoodsearch.cgi left over with S::I support :)
I know that Simon has stepped away from maintaining his modules, so it seems foolish to force our users to use Plucene with no alternative at this stage.
As far as I know, Plucene is an important part of a lot of Kasei's code. They are the maintainers now, and I doubt they're going to junk it. Search::InvertedIndex however has essentially been abandoned by its maintainer.
I didn't realise that; that makes me feel happier about using it.
Cheers,
Dominic.
