Given that from your description swish++ sounds like a general purpose indexer,
which has been set up to index 'natural language' is it the best one for our

If the aim is simply to build an index of package names to web pages, I would
have thought that a different tool would be more appropriate - indeed, with
perl and the HTML parser module, it would be a short script.
