Hi,

I am trying to find out if there is a pluggable replacement for the
plone search tools (live search and advanced search).I want to be able
to include results from arbitrary catalogues/products, say a Bugzilla
or Trac site (using the appropriate adapters).

I had a look at overriding the portal catalog and returning my own
portal brains, but that seemed like an overkill, and is probably the
wrong way around. I would see an adapter for the portal catalog to
some new "user search" product to be a better configuration. That is,
the portal catalog is used for indexing plone content and is used for
building the actual plone interface.

This is part of a greater goal which is to better integrate external
systems into plone, using custom traversers to provide the URL
structure to represent the objects. And, we require these virtual
objects to appear in user's search results, thus the pluggable search
tool.

Any advice would be welcomed, else I'll try to prototype something this week.

Nigel
