I have been reporting number of calls to the search function, not including
calls to the QSearch function, however. i'm starting to think that I should also
include calls to Qsearch as then i can still compare apples to apples in speed
if i change the types of captures allowed in qsearch.

Anyone know what some of the popular OS programs count, IE crafty, fruit,
gerbil, tscp?
