Ah, good point.  I've always used checkboxes and just checked all, I 
guess.

Here's a 2 line change.  It might be a little "perlish".

Then you can define indexes like this:

      swish_index     => ['index1', 'index2', [ 'index1', 'index2' ] ],

So the third element of that array of indexes is actually another array 
of index names.  

Then you setup select indexes as:

        select_indexes  => {
            method => 'radio_group',
            labels  => [ 'Main Index', 'Other Index', 'Both Indexes' ],
        },

So you can see with that you can have any groups of indexes you like.

I wouldn't go too crazy with a lot of indexes -- things seem to slow
down when searching a bunch of indexes.

That patch above isn't complete in that if you disable "select_indexes" 
then you will see an error like:

 Index file error: Could not open the index file 'ARRAY(0x8155adc)': No such file or directory

but it's enough to get you going for now.
