     DESCRIPTION
          Swish-e is Simple Web Indexing System for Humans - Enhanced. Swish-e
          can quickly and easily index directories of files or remote web sites
          and search the generated indexes.

          Swish-e is extremely fast in both indexing and searching, highly
          configurable, and can be seamlessly integrated with existing web sites
          to maintain a consistent design. Swish-e can index web pages, but can
          just as easily index text files, mailing list archives, or data stored
          in a relational database.

          Swish is designed to index small to medium sized collection of
          documents, Although a few users are indexing over a million documents,
          typical usage is more often in the tens of thousands. Currently,
          Swish-e only indexes eight bit character encodings.
