I have little experience using search-hadoop.com but from the little seen, it looks really good. It has potential of being better than google search because its tailored to our domain (I like how as you type, the drop down throws up actual JIRAs, common hbase phrases). Any chance of indexing commit messages too? (I used search-hadoop to solve a prob. I was just having -- "When did TestByteBloomFilter.java" get removed? -- and while search-hadoop turned up the issue that removed it (the attached patch had mention of TestByteBloomFilter.java), otherwise, the results were about BloomFilter and the snippets mentioned BloomFilter rather than TestByteBloomFilter.java. Google returned the commit message that removed the file). I'd be game for putting it in place if others don't object. Google is easy to find if search-hadoop.com is not working for folks. Downside is that its my guess that that box gets little traffic. > And, if so, I'm wondering about the best way to go about it. I see the HBase > site is generated by Forrest.

Yes -- a patch in JIRA -- though I'd not wish forrest hacking on my worst enemy. If you can figure it, I'll apply the patch. How about hacking TRUNK and mvn site src to? See src/site. Here is what the mvn generated site looks like: http://hbase.apache.org/docs/r0.89.20100621/ (You get here by clicking on 'releases' off the main page). It'll go up when we roll the next 0.89.x release and it'll replace forrest when 0.90.0 goes up -- whiich should be in the next month or so. Actually, by default, the mvn stuff doesn't supply a search box so it'd be a nice addition. > course, I imagine we'd want to limit the search to HBase by default. > I'd say so though fellas tripping on it configured so might miss out on the nice search of hadoop itself -- if they don't know its available otherwise (HBasers tend to spend a good bit of time trying to make sense of hadoop too).
