Hi

Came across this article on slashdot
	http://www.webappsec.org/articles/022805-plain.html

Basically it is about what we've experienced with the normal search
function in pmwiki, i.e. that you can extract information about a page
even though you don't have read access to it. They recommend using
search/index engines that crawl your site instead of running locally.

I think we should consider the security aspect before choosing what 
search/indexing engines to support by "default".
