Hi all,
Thanks to the feedback and rake, search_generator now has 50% less
instructions :-).
1) gem install search_generator
2) script/generate search Search
3) Read README_SEARCH that is generated for customization
instructions
If you still want the .tgz or .zip files, feel free to download them:
http://www.hinegardner.org/dist/pkg/
I''ll try and have some sort of demo site to search up this weekend.
Anyone working on a new Hierarki site and want a search engine for it?
comments and criticism are always welcome,
enjoy,
-jeremy

My guess was that I should go to http://myhost/search, but this results in the error at the end if this message. How do I start using it?

The default web based results are just plain ugly looking, and the rss feed results are probably not valid until customized for your site. But they should get you started.> I expected that I could enter a URL to go to a basic search form, like > the one described in app/views/layouts/search.rhtml.Looks like I have a user-friendliness bug. I didn''t start using a default empty search page, I guess I''ll put one it. If you put in a junk search term, then you can search from the results page.> My guess was that I should go to http://myhost/search, but this results > in the error at the end if this message.Good guess, and the fun part is, I never tested a case where I didn''t put in a search term. mea culpa. Definately a bug. I''ll add some sort of userfriendly default page when no search terms are entered. Probably not before the weekend though.

I had the same probablem as you for a bit, before I realized that order matters in the routes.rb file.

The error says it is trying to invoke Search::foo(). Move the default route to the bottom of the file and you should probably see things work as expected. enjoy, -jeremy -- ======================================================================= Jeremy Hinegardner jeremy-eg9WJcVQRd1EMKyauTCisw@public.gmane.org
