Project Info
Project Name: Search Engine Enhancement
Target Audience: All users of Fedora web sites
Expiration/Delivery Date (required): F13
Description/Summary: Fedora needs a search engine[1]
Requirements:
- Crawl the web sites (wiki and non-wiki)
- Search the web sites (wiki and non-wiki)
Preferences:
- Python-based (no Java)
- Programmable keywords to have control over what pages get displayed for certain keywords
- XML or library interface so other applications can use it
Project plan (Detailed):
- Investigate and evaluate existing open source search engines
- Select candidate software
- Create public test instance of candidate software
- Test for functionality, performance, and impact (re-evaluate, if necessary)
- Create capacity and deployment plans
- Deploy
Specific resources needed
- Public Test for testing candidate software
- Permanent home(s) for deployment
- Web server(s)
- Database server(s)
Software Investigation and Evaluation
- HtdigSearch [2]
- Huzaifa (in progress)
- SphinxSearch [3]
- Huzaifa (in progress)
- MWSearch [4]
- Not suitable
- MWSearch requires EzMwLucene to be running on the servers to be searched. EzMwLucene is Java, therefore not preferable.
- MWSearch is a client to EzMwLucene, which is wiki-only, therefore MWSearch is wiki-only.
- RigorousSearch [5]
- Not suitable
- RigorousSearch crawls the MediaWiki database, not the web site. It doesn't work for non-MediaWiki web sites, including any non-wiki web site.
