I am looking for a _working_ extension for integrating a GSA [1] as
search engine for MediaWikis.
Two extensions have been found, but are not working:
i)
http://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-gsa-engine/
Mediawiki search engine for Google search appliance integration. This
SearchEngine class allows mediawiki to use a Google search appliance for
searches.
ii)
http://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-gsa-interwiki/
Search plugin for MediaWiki that uses Google Search Appliance (GSA) for
results. This project is an enhancement of the mediawiki-gsa-mediawiki
project. It fixes a couple issues experienced with that plugin and adds
support for searching multiple wikis...
Has someone a _working_ extension, which can also be found their way to
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Search_extensions ?
P.S.
Regarding sitemap generation, MediaWiki comes already with this tool [2]
which allows the gsa to index the Mediawiki.

Sitemaps are files that make it more efficient for search engine robots
(like googlebot) to crawl a website (so long as the bot supports the
sitemap protocol.)
