[[template id=plugin name=search author="[[Joey]]"]] [[tag type/useful]]

This plugin adds full text search to ikiwiki, using the xapian engine, its omega frontend, and the [[cpan Search::Xapian]] perl module. (The [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]] perl module will also be used, if available.)

Ikiwiki will handle indexing new and changed page contents. Note that since it only indexes page contents, files copied by the [[rawhtml]] plugin will not be indexed, nor will other types of data files.

There is one setting you may need to use in the config file. omega_cgi should point to the location of the omega cgi program. The default location is /usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega/omega.
