Package Searching
One of the primary functions of the repository is to enable text searching
of package metadata to locate specific packages, both for web browsing and
web services.
To enable FTI and searching of packages, two methods are used. One is
integration with the openacs search mechanism (http://openfts.sf.net) so that
packages can be searched along with site content. The other mechanism is
based on the postgesql's tsearch module (written by the authors of openfts) to
index individually and collectively a package's searchable metadata. This second
mechanism will be the primary search tool for webservices and browser package
specific searches.
