Just to check it out, I have installed an older version of Lucene on top of
Java 5 on the staging server.
Basically, it turned out to be extremely easy to set up, and it works pretty
much flawlessly. To try it out, head on over to http://enstage.opensuse.org
and either use the default search box, or go to Special:Search.
I have gotten it to index and search multiple wikis without any problem. It
might take a little more work to figure out how to do partial indexing with
multiple wikis, but that is a very minor issue.
This is just a taste of what Lucene can do. The newest version has a number of
extra features (Did you mean?, highlighting, etc.) and better search results.
Once we get the servers upgraded, I'll try my hand with installing the latest
version and start work on getting it live.
Since the staging site is only accessible to Novell employees, I have taken
some screen shots comparing Lucene search on stage to the default search on
production. I imported the production wiki into the staging site this morning,
so they have nearly identical content.
The search on "rpm" was just a random word I decided on. Notice how "Package
Management" is the top result on Lucene, while one would have to scroll down to
see it with the default. The other two search terms are taken from specific
issues mentioned in http://en.opensuse.org/User:Jnweiger/Wiki_search to show
how Lucene is a big improvement on a lot of user frustrations.
