Okay, I'm not even going to pretend I understand that, but this last bit
sounds good.

So would that mean the type of searching I described would happen
without a big drop in performance?

If so, what needs to change for it to happen? A dev.zope.org proposal? 
(I'd have to leave that one to Steve, my brain doesn't do that type of
thinking ;-)

I'd love to see this happen and, if it makes acquisition happen in a
more logical way, then I'm all for it...

Looking for ways to help given limited knowledge and understanding,
