I am only going to generate one index, but this is because Plucene indexes are
better than you think they are. :)

Plucene allows me to index "documents" with multiple fields, like so:

  type: module
  name: Email::Simple
  category: email
  author: SIMON
  description: ...
  synopsis: ...
  depends: ....
  rating: ...

In fact, I can just index META.yml plus the documentation pretty much as is
and get the data in the right fields. There's a lot more fields you can (and I
will add) of course, such as when the module was released, the license, and so
on.

When you have such an index, to find all the good email handling modules,
search for "category:email rating:4-5". Or "email author:SIMON", it comes to
the same thing. :)

Browsing is just searching metadata.
