If the RPM is really important to you, then I can dedicate more time to it.
I've just been trying to devote my time to new features, and that's why I've been putting it off.
Note, that POPsearch is not an all-in-one solution like google is, since I don't have web search, groups, news, etc.
That requires a lot more hardware than I've got.
Luckily for the google founders, they got free access to the systems at Stanford University, before they had to go out and get funding for their own system.
I've been tinkering around with my own system (called POPsearch) for a few years now.
The initial indexing process takes awhile, but routine index maintenance is done at a lower priority.
I think a lot of people need it, that's why there's so many tools out there already.
As users become more sophisticated, they tend to store information in documents, emails, spreadsheets, etc.
Also as disk capacity grows for even the most inexpensive desktop computers, there's a tendency to keep a lot of stuff around on a computer for a long time.
If there are easy to use search systems out there, people will use them.

I'll work on that, and let you know when they're out there.
Guess I've just been too busy working on getting out the next version.
I already have one out there.
It's called POPsearch http://www.popsearch.net/
Interesting that google is taking the same browser based approach that I did.
While my system hasn't been ported over to OSX, it wouldn't be too difficult for me to do if I could find access to an OSX box.
As of now, it runs on Linux, FreeBSD, and in the near future it'll run on Solaris.
That's partly how my system (POPsearch) does it. The search ranking is determined by a file's popularity.
