VIncent,
I can't speak against this.
But since:
- we have a start impulse (really helps beginners)
- we don't find the time to make it
Well we have put it as part of the roadmap for 4.0 (the investigation part at least).
I think it's a nice GSoC project.
I've now written it:

thank you for your comments.
The problem with GSOC projects that we want integrated in the platform thereafter is that
they usually don't measure up and need to be rewritten and overall take more time that
if some committer had done them initially. Actually for it to be a success you need the
mentor to be participating as much as the student. I doubt very much we can achieve good
results by leisurely following a student's work, on a vital piece like search. Let me
rephrase that. It can sure work but I'm pretty sure we'd need to rewrite it.
Anyway we can always propose the project and we'll vote when we need to sort our
projects if we're selected :)
Thanks
-Vincent
I was not sure what to put in some of the fields (e.g.
active).
