We do have: - http://wiki.php.net/ideas/phpnetsearch But regardless, we may need to add a temporary solution. Yahoo offers many options but they feel complex, whereas a series of simple google custom searches work well. A simple test, both generic and language specific, appears to work fine. What do people think we should do? The main concerns are: - Language specific. E.g., if my language is en, I shouldn't see ja results - Offsite. Most of the work should be done by others (like Yahoo or Google) and not us - 404 handler information integration (currently not done) - Do we need the sqlite based keyword stuff? An intelligent search may remove this need Regards, Philip
