But with all that power and optional stuff comes complexity too. It isn't a five minute attempt to see something working. In fact I thought it was a bit harder than it needed to be getting it working (specifically removing a document/re-adding to update). What I've done is get a really basic add/edit/remove & search on partial content set up. It is pretty easy to set up a search on a site with it now. From there I can move from a timed cron job re-indexing to actual real time updates on content saving if needed. Also you can customize what exactly gets stored in the search database too. You can specify you want to search on document titles versus just the whole content. There is a lot there to play with. Before this I used either a fulltext, simple LIKE, or an external program like Swish-e. I really enjoyed using Swish-e, except it doesn't support utf-8 which is silly in 2008. http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.search.lucene.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
