You can write a SearchEngine plugin which will call out to your search backend and display results within Special:Search on the wiki; see the MWSearch extension for an example -- that's what we use on Wikipedia to hit our Lucene-based search servers. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MWSearch Alternatively you can set $wgSearchForwardUrl to simply pass search reqs on to an outside URL. However, search results then won't be shown in MediaWiki user interface, and won't be available through the API interface. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSearchForwardUrl -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
