Has anyone had any luck in implementing a custom search?
I'm interested in searching not just blog entries, but also some other fields that are in my DB. I checked out the manuals and dug around in the code a bit (only found search plugins for google and wiki, but those seem to be something else). There doesn't seem to be any hooks in for adding my own search functionality. Does this sound right? Since I don't want to change roller source because that would make upgrades/updates a PIA, my current plan is to write a new search servlet to handle what I want to do. But I still want to keep everything within the roller framework (if that makes sense). So, I'm also going to extend PageModel to be able to display the results in a different way -- because I'm going to be displaying more than blog entries. And then right my own velocity template for rendering the page. And it looks like I'll have to implement my own pager since as I mentioned before I'll be returning results that contain more than blog entries. Has anyone had luck doing anything like this? Does this sound feasible?
