  Description     : Perl library providing search engine features

KinoSearch is a loose port of the Java search engine library, Apache Lucene.
It is written in Perl and C, designed primarily for providing website search
functionality, but it can be put to many different uses.

It has the following features:

 * Extremely fast and scalable: KinoSearch can handle millions of documents
 * Incremental indexing (addition/deletion of documents to/from an existing
   index)
 * Full support for 12 Indo-European languages
 * Support for boolean operators (AND, OR, and AND NOT), parenthetical
   groupings, and prepended +plus and -minus
 * Algorithmic selection of relevant excerpts and highlighting of search
   terms within excerpts
 * Highly customizable query and indexing APIs
 * Phrase matching
 * Stemming
 * Stoplists

KinoSearch1 is derived from KinoSearch version 0.165 and is considered
the stable upstream branch.
