I am very excited to announce a release of mnoGoSearch 2.1.0. This version has many improvements and bug fixes.

Firsts, it now has a new manual, which I think is better than the old one.

Secondly, there is a full support for indexing files now. And together with this feature comes mnoGoSearch default template, which is now equipped with file icons for some document types:

Support for indexing OpenOffice document is provided through a small helper inside the extension. Other documents will need appropriate programs installed on the server (like catdoc or pdftotext). You will find all necessary information in the manual.

Finally support for indexing records is improved comparing to previous version.

Happy searching!

    Looks interesting. Will this be the new searchengine on typo3.org?

    Hi Dmitry,

    Is compiling/installing everything from source code the way to go on MacOSX? I now use the default PHP 5 and Apache which comes with Leopard. Don't feel like destroying my development computer, because other sites are being developed on this machine as well.

    I am very inerested if installing mnogosearch from Darwinports is an option as well as well as adding the mnogosearch.so extension to php as a binary, without compiling it first.

    Wow, I am very excited about it. We gave your extension the first try in one of our customer projects and until now it works ;-)
    This version looks a lot better than the older ones. We had some trouble in the past with strange effects, but they are gone away now (I hope).

    Thanks for developing that!

    Is it possible to get the results of the search from other extension as a array?

    We used indexed_search in some extensions to search the whole page, but for that we needed the pid.

    Are the tables integrated in TYPO3?

    @Jonas.

    I've been reading the documentation provided by the extension and I thought I read there that the tables are not part of the Typo3 database itself. I thought you have to setup a new database for mnogosearch. Reason for this is that Typo3 doesn't know about the tables (meaning a diff in real tables and the sql file) and therefore will be able to drop the tables (in the install tool --> database analyzer)

    Rob Vonk, it is best to ask typo3.org team. I am not in that team.

    Mark, I compile mnoGoSearch on my MacBook Pro. You can try Darwinports but if something goes wrong, you will be on your own :( The manual outlines official way to use mnoGoSearch with TYPO3 and it is building from source. The reason behind it is that it is hard to get three pieces (engine, PHP ext, TYPO3 ext) working together in a stable way unless you compile as suggested.

    Jonas, it is not possible to get the results of the search from other extension as an array. There is no such API, tough it can be developed if necessary.
