Absolutely.  I like this much better, myself.

No.  The HTTP settings are for indexing a web site instead of the file
system.

You only need a server script to interface with the executable.  Have a look
at:
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/SWISH-E/Scripts/

I am working on a PHP 3 script for SWISH-E.  There are several others that
are working on PERL scripts.  I think that Autoswish is being rewritten.
The current version probably only works well with SWISH-E 1.1.

I manually configure SWISH-E and use my PHP3 script to interface it with the
web server.
