Blosxearch

Blosxearch is simple PHP hack written in 2003 to enable fulltext searching of Blosxom blogs. It is based on Ape Search by Eduardo Baldan dos Santos. It may be redundant of, or inferior to, this plug-in or others that I haven't tried.

Installation

  1. upload this script and the Ape Search "_classSearch.php" file
  2. include the following code in your page template somewhere:
    <form action="blosxearch.php" method="GET">
    <input type="text" size="10" name="keyword" />
    </form>
  3. create "head.search" and "foot.search" templates in "flavours". Note that these are not real Blosxom templates, just HTML files included by blosxearch.
  4. see script comments for configuration and customization
That's it!

feedback please!
