Indexing and Searching Contents of Uploaded File

I have written a simple module that will index and search the contents of uploaded files (doc,xls,pdf,rtf and txt) using the very powerful and fast (IMHO) swish-e search engine (http://www.swish-e.org). This module requires swish-e and filters (for doc, xls, rtf and txt) programs installed in the server. I know, i know... this is not ideal in a shared environment where you dont have a total control of your server.

When does flexinode_page_table get called?

I've been looking at that method for some time and I still wonder when it gets called? Is there a certain URL that produces a page of flexinodes in tabular form?

Node file attachments or filestore2? Tracking downloads.

With the addition of file attachments for nodes in Drupal 4.5, what's the advantage of using filestore2? Does it have to do mainly with fscache?

I'm looking to hack one of these modules so I can track downloads per user and am not sure which one to use. The idea is to be able to generate a report of who has downloaded specific files. Has anyone done anything like this?

Dealing with comment spam using Bayesian logic

In the past couple of months, I've begun to notice the occasional posting of 'comment spam' on my website. These have tended to include a short string of nonsense "mad-lib" style text, followed by a large number of offsite links. I currently utilize the tracker module to at least glance at every comment left on my website, so I eventually find this spam and manually delete it. However as the rate of this comment spam has increased, I've been looking for a better way to deal with it.

Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, I began by looking at Spamassassin and other free anti-spam tools. I had hoped to integrate one of these tools into Drupal, letting it do the actual work of deciding whether or not a given comment was spam. With further research, I found that this wasn't very workable as these anti-spam tools tended to be very mail-centric, looking at more than just the body of the email. Instead, I read up on using Bayesian logic, and ultimately decided it would be best to write a simple Bayesian filter in PHP.
