Few questions:

for the search functions:
fuzzy - is this a soundex type search?
distance - not sure what this is?

tracker also supports :

1) RegExp
2) StartsWith
3) LessThanOrEqual
4) GreaterOrEqual

will the above be supported also or are they not commonly found in 
indexer systems?

otherwise looking good :)
