I tell you what, once a decision has been made I would be very happy to take this on as my first task. (Above and beyond patching, of course). Is there a case for trialling so called 'rival' products in a bid to ascertain their suitability for the task in hand.
I think that is overkill. I was suggesting a very slight change to make our docs search a little easier and more professional looking. Others have suggested changing to a home-grown search engine: solr. I'm fine with that as long as we have a volunteer to ride it through to completion. If you want to take that on Tony, I'm fine with that too. But you need to realize that a lot of the work is going to be figuring out how to get this to interact well with apache infrastructure. (What server should it run on? Does it need a custom account for the necessary cron jobs? How will this interact with our mirrors? etc.) So my opinion is that we need another volunteer who knows the apache ins and outs better to help you along. I'm not all that interested in that particular job myself.
