Please keep the discussion on the list...

Your idea sounds for me like: Why do you want to use Zope if you want to 
invent the wheel on your own? ZCatalog/TextIndexNG are well tested and 
do their job very well... There's no need to invent your own 
c++-indexer, if you do it the "zopish" way. Maybe you should have a look 
at MNOGoSearch and something like this non-zope-stuff for 
full-text-retrieval out there...
