Muscat is a search engine tool; used for indexing of documents and
retrieval.
It ships with a html parser called dialogserver which acts on magic tags in
the html to perform various actions relating to searches.

For an example of muscat use, see www.webtop.com (not mine).

The purpose of this module is to be able to write and customise complex
search pages in php.
It has two levels, access to an old C api, which is what we need immediatly,
and then access to the more normal C++ API which we are currently using via
a perl module.

OK. Enclosed is a .tgz of the module (from ext) with a sample php script
which feeds some text to muscat and is returned an array of suitable search
terms which could be used in a muscat database to find similar texts. Here
the search terms are just printed out along with the number of times*
[*weighted by other rules] they occured, but these could be fed back to a
search.
