Hey, author here.

Thanks!
I just want to say that I will soon be trying to make that search engine, and I didn't forget about it. For now I am finishing my college year and preparing for french exams, but as soon as that's done I'll be sure to start actually making it; though I don't think it will be ready until a few months from now. Then we'll have to wait for sites to get indexed, and that's going to last even longer. I'll also try to host mailman on renn.es and make a few mailing lists for this project, be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed to get the announcement(s) ;-)
