Or we can just use our own search system and not use the wiki search system. I can (and have planned to for some time, just out of $freetime) revive searchfedora.org using the existing datapark search (http://dataparksearch.org/) code or we can use an experimental indexing system I'm working on in python that uses Xapian and some custom python to feed the indexer, as Xapian doesn't have it's own robots (http://www.xapian.org/). Datapark search scales very well. I've not been the most impressed with xapian, but moreso with it's indexing strategy rather then it's true purpose as an indexing framework (as best I can tell.) IIRC, MoinMoin has xapian plugins, but I would recommend a completely external search system. Let me know if reviving searchfedora.org should be moved up on my todo list. -- Jonathan Steffan daMaestro Fedora Unity - http://fedoraunity.org/ GPG Fingerprint: 93A2 3E2F DC26 5570 3472 5B16 AD12 6CE7 0D86 AF59 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
