Yep, that would be incorrect in your documentation.  swish-search is just a
copy of swish-e.  I think 2.0.5 is almost a year old, and you are the first
to catch that.

Does anyone use swish-search?  I guess it's suppose to be a "safer" version
of swish-e since it can't write index files.  Does that imply that swish-e
is not safe?

Frankly, I think it's the CGI's job to validate user data, instead of
leaving some of that to swish-e.  I kind of worry that someone will use
swish-search and then be lax on CGI security issues and end up worse off.
Or maybe I worry too much.
