Thanks for the hint. I found this on wikipedia under "Installing Lucene search" "Lucene is a library that can be used to construct full-text search engines. One of such search engine was written by Kate Turner in about 2005 to improve the searching functionality of MediaWiki-based wikis. This original search engine was written in Java. Later, the search engine was ported to C# by Brion Vibber" Unfortunately the link to the source code is not working: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mwsearch -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Mono-on-wikipedia-tp4662542p4662551.html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
