Details about Zoho Search? Anyone testing it?

Hi, I'm trying to write an article on Zoho Search and need more details urgently. These are the most important ones to me, and if any early adopters or beta testers have anything at all to say, please do! Or email me privately here or at consult2@searchtools.com

How quickly does it update normally? what about if I upload a big batch of text information? \
Can it index external files?
How much metadata is there automatically and how much can I add? What about synonyms
Does it support Boolean operators, and/or the internet operators like quotes and minus signs?
What is the (general) relevance algorithm, is it tf:idf or something else?
Are there ways to adjust relevance rankings?
Are there Best Bets or spelling suggestions features?
What kind of search engine result layout tools are there? Can I get it as XML?
Are there raw search logs available? What about search-specific reporting, and integration with other reports?
What do you guarantee for server uptime and responsiveness? What if I suddenly have a thousand searches a minute? a second? What if someone else does, how will it affect my search times?

I realize this is a lot to ask, but offering search is a fairly bold step, and my readers would very much like to know the answers.

Thanks!

Avi
