Hello,
I'm working with a client to utilize their Google Search Appliance (GSA) for searching within their externally facing customer wiki. I'm required to access the GSA through it's API and pass the following parameters:
linkID=10 (this tells the GSA what enterprise site is being searched) searchTerm= the query string selectionTopic=default_en (returns English results and is constant) startNum=0 (the start result number)
I've been trying to get mediawiki-gsa-engine (https://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-gsa-engine/) to work unsuccessfully. And it would appear the extension is unmaintained.
What's my path of least resistance here? Should I simply hack the SimpleSearch section of the Vector.php?
I haven't found any other extensions in the wild that integrate with a GSA.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks Bill
At this point I think the only maintained search backend for Mediawiki is database backed and CirrusSearch. CirrusSearch only targets Elasticsearch.
I'm not really sure what the path of least resistance is if you are forced into GSA. It might be reviving the extension but it looks like its been fallow for a long time.
Thanks Nik,
I may end up reviving the extension. Right now, I'm experimenting with $wgSearchForwardUrl which may suffice if I can get it to work.
