 * Well, we tried…
 * It took a few years of kick-starting the Search Everything Plus project and it
   being subverted by new full-time projects at Sprout Venture before realizing 
   it had to stop. Our goal of fixing WordPress search with SE+ needed too much 
   focus, something we couldn’t sacrifice because of growing client projects. After
   a year of trying and nothing awesome to show we decided to cease all planning
   and development on the Search Everything Plus plugin/service.
 * But our goal of fixing WordPress search isn’t lost.
 * For the last few months we’ve tested out numerous search solutions for WordPress
   and we found one. Swiftype offers many of the features you requested for SE+ 
   and their service was something we had only hoped to build. Instead of competing
   we decided to partner.
 * The Swiftype Search plugin replaces the standard WordPress search with a better,
   more relevant search engine, and in doing so offloads the performance burden 
   of search queries from your database to ours. It also gives you detailed insight
   into what your users are searching for, so you know which keywords to target 
   when customizing your search engine results. The base ranking algorithm is based
   on industry best-practices and provides more relevant results by default, but
   we also allow for any result set to be fully customized via our drag-and-drop
   interface for result reordering. To make customizations you simply create a Swiftype
   account and install our the Swiftype Search plugin. You can then login to our
   dashboard to customize results and read through detailed search analytics.
 * Sincerely,
    Dan Cameron Principal and Janitor, Sprout Venture
 * … and then it analyses your users search beahviour? I feel smudged.
