4 This plugin adds full text search to ikiwiki, using the
5 [xapian](http://xapian.org/) engine, its
6 [omega](http://xapian.org/docs/omega/overview.html) frontend, and the
7 [[cpan Search::Xapian]], [[cpan Digest::SHA1]], and [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]]
10 The [[ikiwiki/searching]] page describes how to write search queries.
12 Ikiwiki will handle indexing new and changed page contents. Note that since
13 it only indexes page contents, files copied by the [[rawhtml]] plugin will
14 not be indexed, nor will other types of data files.
16 There is one setting you may need to use in the config file. `omega_cgi`
17 should point to the location of the omega cgi program. The default location
18 is `/usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega/omega`.
