I'll look at your URL in a moment, but as I really like your ideas
about stopwords, I need to know about the availability for the Win32
platform... One of the fixes that I read about for Win32 had to do
with a datatype that turned out to be a bug, but that would just be
ignored on Unix, although it would affect search results.
TIA,
