[Gobi] announcement: a search extension for gobi

[Robert Gaggl]

hi everybody,

i just wanted to announce my search extension for gobi. it is based on 
apache lucene [1] and the helma.Search wrapper [2] i've written a while 
ago, and adds full text search functionality to any gobi site.

indexing is done for all Page instances, so everything within a gobi 
site will be indexed. the speciality of this extension is that 
index-modifying operations will be done asynchronously if necessary: 
normally a created/modified page will be indexed immediately, but if for 
whatever reason the underlying index is locked the extension spawns a 
new separate thread which then waits for the index to unlock so that it 
can do its job. the result is that you won't experience any delay when 
saving a page, not even if the whole index is currently rebuiling.

you can download the extension at http://nomatic.org/download/gobisearch/.

please give it a try and let me know what you think about it.

robert
