Hello,

 

As Carlos pointed out, I had accidentally hijacked an earlier thread, so I am starting this new one up.  Here is the original message:

 

I have implemented Google Custom Search on enstage.opensuse.org, and I am personally very happy with the results.  To try it out, you can visit http://enstage.opensuse.org/Portal:GoogleSearch and try searching on anything you want.  It is about a thousand times better than what we have, and with the better relevance ranking, namespace searching is no longer an issue.

 

While the current search is advertisement supported, I am nearly positive that we can get ad support removed.  It seems that Google is pretty willing to do this for non-profits.

 

What does everyone think?  If you don't have access to the staging site, I will be more than happy to send you a screen shot of the search page.

 

If everyone is on board, I will ask Thomas to edit the theme to make it the default search, and we'll send it live.

 

Thanks,

Matt

 

By the way, you need access to the staging site to see this (i.e. you need to be on the Novell network).  I can provide screen shots if requested.
