SuperSearch

SuperSearch is a drop-in replacement for the built-in Search; some of the highlights:

1. It is blisteringly fast; most queries are pulled from the cache, faster than they would with Solr
2. Results are easily themable;
3. Search results can be added to your Sitemap for great SEO results
4. There are more hooks on it than on Moby Dick
5. The indexer is completely rewritten, and indexes sites between 11 and 17 times faster than search.module

First alpha release !

We have it up in public and out of the abyss of our svn repository (drupal.org will surface it within 12 hours) ! The first release is stable on our sites, but we need more eyes on it: more ideas for features, comments, bugs, bring it all. We want this to become the very best search system for Drupal. To install it, first disable Search (don't worry, if you forget that step the module will let you know before anything happens), then enable SuperSearch. Welcome to speed and flexibility !

CVS Is Not Always Your Friend

I guess it will take longer for the files to emerge; looks like our CVS directory was cleaned-off by the server and this is a project without a repository. Currently polling the Drupal CVS Mountain Sages for instructions.

News: Thanks to KiamLaLuno on the webmaster side of things who cleared up the CVS issues for us; we've just filed a new request for a packaged release, which should be up (crossing fingers) within 12 hours.

News 2: Nope, it failed again; we'll call on the Mountain Sages once more.

News 3: Wasted time with CVS; network sniffs show the files being sent to the server, but them not showing up on drupal.org. Enough. CVS must die. The alpha release is here, hosted on our servers: SuperSearch 6.x-0.5-dev

Watch an early demo here (code will be brought up to Alpha shortly):
