hrm,

initial results as a direct dropin are return hit count but no row data.

here is my code, cleaned a bit of course :).

          my $swish = SWISH::API::Stat->new(
                                           indexes => $indexes,
                                           paranoia_level => 1,
                                           );
          if ($swish->Error){ print STDERR "SWISH:".$swish->ErrorString; }
          my $search = $swish->New_Search_Object( $query );
          $search->SetSort( $sort );

          $search->SetSearchLimit( 'sort_date', $low_stamp, $high_stamp ) if $datesearch;
          my $results = $search->Execute;
          my $num_results = $results->Hits;
          $results->SeekResult( $snum );

 	 while ( (my $result = $results->NextResult) && ($i <=  $max_ret) ) {
             my $res;
             my @props = $result->PropertyList; my $prop;
             foreach $prop(@props){
                $res->{$prop->Name}=$result->Property( $prop->Name );
             }
             push (@swish_return,$res);
             $i++;
          }

 	 return (\@swish_return);

doing some Data::Dumper tests, if you know it is something obvious...
