Error when editing pages
I followed your tutorial and installed LuceneSearch. All went fine, but when I edit a page, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method LuceneSearch::setLimitOffset in /path/to/wiki/includes/SearchEngine.php on line 222

I'm using Mediawiki 1.10.0. Is this a known problem or just a configuration issue? Looks like LuceneSearch.php or LuceneSearch_body.php don't define that function at all. Same with LuceneSearch::update function...


 * You're missing

$wgDisableSearchUpdate = true;
 * in your LocalSettings.php. It should be placed before the require_once statement. --Rainman 17:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Installing Lucene on Windows 2003 Server
Is there a way to install the LuceneSearch under Windows? I Run my wiki on a Windows 2003 Server with XAMPP and I want to use the features of Lucene. I found at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Installing_lucene_search that wikipedia uses the C# engine of Lucene.

Is there a compiled version of the C# engine to install it on my Apache running on Windows 2003 Server?----stp-- 13:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, no. --Rainman 09:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I am also interested in a Windows 2003 tutorial for improving MediaWiki search results. Cedarrapidsboy 14:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * You can use the old C# daemon following tutorial on Installing lucene search. Wikimedia sites used to use this one, but now use to the latest (java) version. The new version could in principle run on windows with some modifications (main problem is usage of symbolic and hard links), but there is no-one around the patch it. --Rainman 09:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
