We have some version of glimpse (3.0 it looks like) here so I ran glimpseindex (just on my mail, my home dir is too big) and downloaded nnir and set it up. I like it a lot. I don't know how I've lived without it this long. Thanks Kai! But now I'm being told that our sysadmins don't want to maintain glimpse on the end user systems since it doesn't have enough user demand to justify their time. I have no problem maintaining my own copy, but if I have to do that I wonder: should I look for a newer version, try out this freewais-sf I've seen reference to or something else? Any advice or pointers to appropriate URLs would be greatly appreciated.
