Robert,

KinoSearch 0.10 was just uploaded to CPAN a couple of hours ago.  The  
primary motivation for this release is Windows compatibility: 0.10  
builds and tests fine on Win32 ActivePerl 817, based on perl-5.8.8.   
Hopefully it will work fine with Cygwin as well, and if it doesn't,  
I'll be fixing it.  Several flavors of Linux have been no problem for  
a while now.

The feature set is nearly the same as Plucene's, with the addition of  
an integrated Highlighter.  Unlike Lucene's highlighter, though, this  
one handles phrase queries correctly.
