RE: Plucene or Xapian?

Hi Peter --

I've used switch-e many times over the years.  Do you think it is
lacking in any way compared to Xapian or Plucene?  What about compared
to commercial systems such as Verity or Autonomy?

I've felt that Switch-e was a bit "long in the tooth" owing to its
legacy.  Do you disagree?  If you were not deeply involved in the
Switch-e project, would you choose it over Xapian or Plucene (or any
other system)?

Why do you say?  Any particular gripes?

I've heard of KinoSearch before, but I've not tried it out.  It seemed
that Plucene and Xapian had more established Perl interfaces, but I
could be wrong.
