Should that be 'same interface'?

This is a very good point!

I'd be really interested in making something that supported the Catalog
'interface' but actually used the new MySQL full-text searching stuff to
do the indexing/searching.

However, until Catalog has a defined _interface_, I'm not even going to
think about starting :-S

Anyone know when that's likely to happen?
