You've hit on a common misunderstanding. swish-e *never* reads the config file
at search time, only at indexing time. So you must specify the path to the index
with the -f option at search time if it is not in the same directory as where
you are running the command ($PWD).

SWISH::WebService is not a plugin feature for the swish.cgi script. I mentioned
it as an example of code that implements a XML result format. You'd have to
write some Perl code to use it. The SYNOPSIS of the module has a working example
script:
