How about publishing the search hack for the rest of the GL community to use? I think the current search capabilities of GL are somewhat lacking. Perhaps you should even submit it for inclusion in a future version in the 1.3.x branch (surely GL2 will support excellent search capabilties).

I published my search hack to geeklog.net the day I finished it. But the above modification is not a hack, it's a good rewrite of the search engine by Marc of MacFixIt. Even better, he has already contributed the code back to the Geeklog source, and it's avaialable via CVS.

I've got it installed and running on my 1.3.7 release, and it works well. There's still a lack of "full text" searching due to MySQL (ie it can't tell that a search for "event" shouldn't also find "prevent"), but that should be addressed by newer versions of MySQL and Geeklog (in the future).

Short of that restriction, the new engine is MUCH nicer than the old!
