BSD License. The source is available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/myobjects. There hasn't been much change
on the code for a few months because of my school stuff, but I will go
back to work on MyObjects soon.

If I am accepted at this project, I will definitely need to know much
about the Horde structure.
I will examine file types that are used in all Horde modules and I will
create an indexer using them. I am planning not
to depend on a third party search software, hence I will create my own
code base.

My goals are:

    Memory efficiency in indexing.
    Minimal index & lexicon size.
    Document ranking. (Computation of similarity in documents using
Cosine measure)
    Efficient query parser that handles boolean queries.
    Well designed API for accessing from other Horde modules.
