This is a pretty hefty patch which abstracts out the two searching classes into a Search::Base class, in preparation for adding a third search engine backend. (Plucene) While constructing this I found a particularly confusing thing about the full text search backend. index_node is called as follows: $search->index_node($node, $content); However, DBIxFTS says this: my ($self, $node) = @_; (No content?) my $dbh = $self->{_dbh}; my $fts_all = DBIx::FullTextSearch->open($dbh, "_content_and_title_fts"); my $fts_titles = DBIx::FullTextSearch->open($dbh, "_title_fts"); $fts_all->index_document($node); $fts_titles->index_document($node); (No difference between purely-title and content-and-title indexing?) Where does it get the content from? -- "There is no statute of limitations on stupidity." -- Randomly produced by a computer program called Markov3.
