Yes, I have used it repeatedly, and have found it very fast. I haven't
generated any enormously complex queries. I'm a beta tester, so I will
be thrashing it pretty soon on my local machine.
Let's say that it works enough to be on my hotlist. Some other search
sites don't cooperate behind my proxy.

I have parts of the Harvest subsystem running here. It was a *simple*
compile and install, something that is easily overlooked, especially with
~23 Mb in the compiled distribution:
du -s ~/src/harvest
23069 /home/paul/src/harvest
What drew me to it was reading the file:
ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/pub/cs/techreports/schwartz/Harvest.ps.Z
Many of the things I've been thinking about, specifically in
server-server interaction and addressing some of the capabilities of
Lotus Notes, are in that paper.
