You'll be please to know that I am actively working on the enhancements to supersearch. One of the effects will be reducing our dependence on the SII. In fact category and locale searches will not use the SII at all.
How are you planning to reduce dependence on Search::InvertedIndex?
My thought for category and locale searches is that anything typed in the standard search box should search body, category and locale, perhaps with increased weighting where the search term matches a category or locale. I'd also quite like to take advantage of CGI::Wiki's fuzzy title match, for the cases when we fail to match exactly. Stemming could possibly be useful - a search on "pubs" should find the same things as a search on "pub".
If there are any problems with querying the inverted index (rather than updating it), I would be interested and willing to assist, [...]
I haven't come across any.
