I think that given everything Yahoo! has given to the project, it
would be reasonable to give their engine serious consideration unless
there is a compelling reason not to.

I also agree with John that the current one is probably the worst part
of an otherwise excellent site. I've avoided saying anything about it
since I don't have time to offer a better solution.
