You mean indexing on content like the set name, human-entered comments, and
all that, yes? With the option to disable matches on certain fields?

Maybe two-tiered along with one-tiered on the same screen? The two-tiered
stuff at the top, with the one-tiered stuff below it (but not too much that

I like what Yahoo does, BTW, where they give a list of site-matches, but if
there are category-matches as well as site-matches, they list those first.
Do you like that approach?
