Also interesting to note is that the Mycroft plugins are related 
(descended from?) the search"Channels" in the Sherlock metasearch 
tool from Apple, and you can gather from the name. 
(http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1141.html) If you  can't 
afford an institutional metasearch tool, you could do much worse than 
to run a Sherlock based service on one of the new iMac Minis.
