It's huge..wow..great stuff..

one thing that bugs me, how do you tell a piece of software which
language does 'a word' belong to ? An additional syntax is probably
needed in the search string for a large site that contains multi
language documents. Something like "via Real Madrid[english]", which
would only search the word in the "english" context. 

Then again, how do you give the Content of your site a language context
(document especially, HTML file probably thru Meta tags). So that the
search would only need to be performed in the content that suits the
language context.
