Some don't use MySQL, as well, causing further complications. I think the best option may be to build plugins for specific blogging systems, as there aren't too many out there... I'm still working on the required caching, as I don't want the search to take forever while waiting for several sites to respond. Also, I don't want to hit other sites for every third letter someone types on my site -- it's much better to keep everything (as much as possible) in one place.
