jportal and search engine

[g_nadia]

Hi all.

Since jportal has not search capabilities, is it possibile integrate it with an open source search engine?

If yes, is there a preferred search engine to use?
Should I integrate it, deploying the war file?

Thanks a lot,
Nadia

Hi nadia

What search engine do you need?

If it's for some search on the web, there is the GooglePortlet that is available here : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91153

To make it work, you also need the Google key that you can dowload here:
http://www.google.com/apis/

After, you need to create the *.xml files for JBoss Portal and put the value of the Googlekey into portlet.xml like this:

<init-param>
 <name>key</name>
 <value>YYY+XxxXXXXXxxxxXX+YYy</value>
 </init-param>

I wish it helps you and it was an engine like that you need... if not, sorry for the disturbance.

Flo.

i guess g_nadia thinks of a search engine that indexes all sites of the portal and provides a portal wide find dialog. I have heard something like that could be done easily with a portlet based on apache lucene.
