[Mediawiki-l] Announcing Easy Lucene Search for Mediawiki (David Gerard)

[Chris Reigrut]

to be pretty good, but not perfect, in a corporate environment.  This 
addressed point #2, and we've used FCKEditor with pretty good success 
for #1.  Many folks would argue there's a #3 (fine-grained security), 
but I've managed to hold them off on that front thus far.
