Extension talk:MWSearch

What are the advantages/disadvantages of MWSearch extension over Lucene extension ? Thank you.

MWSearch is being maintained and developed, while LuceneSearch is not. The difference are minor. MWSearch has a somewhat better and more consistent interface, e.g. it has galleries for Image namespace hits. --Rainman 15:01, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Does MWSearch support Windows + Apache / Windows + IIS ?
 * No, the search backend does not support windows. --Rainman 13:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * thats not true; i just managed to compile it under ubuntu and now running it on a windows 2003 server --193.27.220.82 13:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

MWSearch over SSL?
Is it possible to use MWSearch over SSL? If so, is there a special configuration needed? (I ask b/c I've been unable to get it working and I'm not permitted to open additional ports)
 * Sorry to answer my own question, but I was able to make this work by editing my host file to point the domain to 127.0.0.1 instead of the external IP. I don't really like this solution so I'm hoping this isn't the preferred method. Does anyone have any suggestions?
