Two major obstacles are |
| 8 |
- Google bases its search functionality on cached pages. |
| 9 |
I would assume that most people use the search functionality to find |
| 10 |
documentation which gets updated quite a lot. Google might offer outdated |
| 11 |
links or forget to point to a valuable resource |
| 12 |
- We would depend on Google a bit |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Now Google might be a reliable web site/service, I'd rather have the search |
| 15 |
functionality of our web site implemented on the Gentoo infrastructure. I |
| 16 |
would even hope that we can have some tweaking possibilities in our search |
| 17 |
functionality, such as: |
| 18 |
- Restricting pages to /doc (documentation), /main (Gentoo information), |
| 19 |
/news (News items+GWN), /proj (project stuff) |
| 20 |
- Restricting languages (en, fr, ... and any combination) |
| 21 |
- Have the search points assigned so that hits are calculated with certain |
| 22 |
weights: |
| 23 |
* title's get most of the points, unless many titles are selected |
| 24 |
* abstract's get the second most points, yada yada |
| 25 |
* content get third most points |
| 26 |
