Wells" To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Subject: Assessing Search Engine Issues Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Belay my last question. I have a series of questions regarding the current site and issues that impacts selecting a new search engine. Does the webserver have a database engine running on it? Does the webserver have PHP? Will it? Can it? How does the mail archive and search work? Is it home grown or is it some third party software? Are there docs in existence? Hom does the current web search work? Is it home grown or is it some third pacty software? Are there docs for it? I heard a rumor that the current search system has become unmanageable. Can someone in the know speak on that issue? As I understand rumblings on chat, folks aren't terribly dissatisfied. They do want a stronger boolean syntax and date functionality. They want sortability on the results. I could answer these questions for myself if I were allowed to poke around. Could someone vouch for me for an account on hub? Thank you, Jason C.
