Mauricio Monsalve	Monday 14 July 2003 9:34:56 am Hi! I'm developing an improvement for eZ. The objective is to add a semantic search option. I´ve been studing the basics for eZ and I couldn't find a detailed explanation about the serach engine. I need this to decide if I do this semantic search as a plug-in or a completly new feature. Any documentation you can provide me will be great! Thanks, Mauricio
Bård Farstad	Monday 14 July 2003 10:59:32 am There is not much documentation about the search engine framework. But the search engine will index all objects which are searchable. You will find the implementation in the folder: kernel/search/plugins/ezsearchengine/ What excactly are you looking for? I will try to get the documentation updated here as soon as possible. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
