Hi,
As Bob pointed out to me, Search::InvertedIndex tests are currently failing in the Wiki::Toolkit test suite. We wondered whether anyone was actually making use of S::II in Wiki::Toolkit (or, indeed, the other built in alternative, DBIx::FullTextSearch). The most high-profile user of Wiki::Toolkit, OpenGuides, implements its own search separately.
So if you use either search module in Wiki::Toolkit, please let us know on the mailing list with a few details about what you use/do so we can assess how much we should care about maintaining that support.
Cheers, Dominic.

Small correction - OpenGuides search is built on top of Wiki::Toolkit search. OpenGuides admins can choose in their config file whether to use the S::II, Plucene, or Lucy backends for this. Since 2004 the default search backend has been Plucene, but before that it was S::II.
Hence it's conceivable that there are old OpenGuides installs still running on the S:II backend. (Though I can confirm that Vegan Oxford, Croydon, and RGL are all running on Plucene.)
