Certainly not easily. I just tried an index and I killed it after it tried 
to index every tag defined on the site. But there are other places we don't 
index (here being one of them), so I can't get too concerned if it is 
useful.

And it *could* be indexed; we'd just need a special driver for the indexer 
program that knows how to retrieve questions with Ada tags and index them. 
The problem, of course, is that it would break when they change the site. 
This isn't unprecedented; there is a special mode in the indexer program 
just to handle the CVS archive on Ada-auth.org, and I also have settings to 
make various wikis work. Not sure it would be worth the effort, mainly given 
the possibility of using the time to work on other things. (Recall the 
shameless plug in the last message.)
