[Mediawiki-l] Announcing Easy Lucene Search for Mediawiki

[Brian]

I must have missed a configuration step because MediaWiki is still
defaulting to the mysql search. I've included EzMwLucene.php in my
LocalSettings.php, and managed to get the server started manually
(service.sh kept failing), and the loader does seem to do some indexing, but
other than that nothing.

My impression so far is that even if you polish this up it will be just as
difficult to configure as MWSearch. The only added benefit on top of it for
me right now is pdf indexing. I've got thousands and thousands of PDFs on my
wiki.
