MWSearch extension is a MediaWiki backend to fetch search results from MediaWiki Lucene-based search engine. You need Extension:lucene-search in order to run this extension.
[edit] Installation
1. Download the files from SVN
2. Add the following to your LocalSettings.php:
$wgSearchType = 'LuceneSearch'; $wgLuceneHost = '192.168.0.1'; $wgLucenePort = 8123; require_once("extensions/MWSearch/MWSearch.php"); # uncomment this if you use lucene-search 2.1 # (MUST be AFTER the require_once!) #$wgLuceneSearchVersion = 2.1;
To load-balance with from multiple servers:
3. Installation can now be verified through Special:Version of your wiki
If used on a gentoo based Server make sure dev-lang/php was emerged with the curl USE flag set, otherwise search attempts will fail because nothing will be sent to the lsearchd.
[edit] Installing the search engine
Lucene-search daemon needs to be running on the specified host(s). For instructions see Extension:lucene-search.
