Seems to work well - but I did like the way that both HtDig and Google show 
the segments of the text for each item in the results list which contain 
the matching words/phrases (with the ability to toggle this feature 
on/off). I find that helps me visually eliminate many of the false posiives 
quickly. Does Swish have such a function built-in?
