Recently a link to search.apache.org was added to the jakarta front page.. I do see this as a good thing overall....but..
can I change the *search* link to: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:jakarta.apache.org&hl=en&as_qdr=all search.apache.org - useful resource or big dud...you decide: Demonstration: 1. goto google.com - type these keywords: excel java jakarta Top hit http://jakarta.apache.org .. second entry http://jakarta.apache.org/poi -- - nice work google. . you can also go to "advanced search" and limit to apache domain for an even better comparison..... (POI is then the top hit) 2. goto search.apache.org - click "jakarta" and type excel java as your keywords.... NO RESULTS... hummm kinda embarrassing ... okay so POI is kinda new lets try something else: 1. goto www.google.com keywords : search engine java jakarta Whammo! Lucene at the top... .nice show google 2. goto search.apache.org keywords: search engine java (check Jakarta) wow... 1 - some engine class in tomcat... not particularly relevant...Velocity #2 -- well Jon probably arranged that... But wait...next and scroll to #28 and you see the word lucene.....but its just a gump build that no longer exists... Well thats helpful... For more fun use "logging API" -- dead log4j pages at the top... can't find index page... Don't see LogKit in here... So how bout changing the search link to be either this: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:jakarta.apache.org&hl=en&as_qdr=all Or maybe working on upgrading the search engine or maybe it just needs an index refresh ... For whatever the reason...I think it would be safe to say at the moment it is well...sucky. -Andy -- http://www.superlinksoftware.com http://jakarta.apache.org/poi - port of Excel/Word/OLE 2 Compound Document format to java http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4487555.html - fix java generics!
