Re: Roller Search Script

[Dave <sn...@gmail.com>]

I don't remember a discussion on this topic.

If you want to do some custom dev, and you've got Java skills, then
here's an idea.

Take a look at the SearchServlet. An object of class WebSearchRequest
is used to parse apart the incoming URL arguments and then and object
of class SearchResultsModel executes the search and is passed into the
Velocity engine so that search results can be displayed.

You could add some new URL parameters (like search order) in to
WebSearchRequest and then change the way that SearchResultsModel
executes the query.

Hope that helps...
