[[template id=plugin name=search author="[[Joey]]"]]
[[tag type/useful]]

This plugin adds full text search to ikiwiki, using the
[xapian](http://xapian.org/) engine, its
[omega](http://xapian.org/docs/omega/overview.html) frontend,
and the [[cpan Search::Xapian]] perl module. (The [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]]
perl module will also be used, if available.)

Ikiwiki will handle indexing new and changed page contents. Note that since
it only indexes page contents, files copied by the [[rawhtml]] plugin will
not be indexed, nor will other types of data files.

There is one setting you may need to use in the config file. `omega_cgi` 
should point to the location of the omega cgi program. The default location
is `/usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega/omega`.
