Sure. I think the earlier consensus within the Lucene PMC was that any reasonable Lucene-based search engines would be given equal standing as our site search providers. It's a bit unfortunate that this may lead to some inconsistency in the user interface, but I think we can live with that until someone steps up to implement and maintain such a search engine on Apache hardware. > Assuming people are for this, any suggestions for how the search should > function > by default or any specific instructions for how the search box should be > modified would be great! Ideally the search box would allow the user to choose which provider to use. Something like a cookie that remembers the user's selection would be nice. If the user doesn't make an explicit selection of the provider, then one should be selected randomly for the first search and remembered afterwards for consistency. It would be great if the required logic was implemented on the client side using javascript, as otherwise we'd need to start messing up with CGI scripts, etc. The current site template can be found at [1].
