Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Implement site-wide search using OpenFTS with modules such as file-storage

Dear Dave,

that would be great! I just returned from the customer meeting where we also discussed OpenFTS. At the moment the editor has to input keywords manually, but the list is mainained poorly. So he came up with the question whether it is possible that we send the search term to a thesaurus and based on the results the search is performed. The reason why he needs this is because for example UN is the English acronym for United Natiions, but in German it is called UNO and in Spanish it is even ONU. But whenever a Spanish user is looking for ONU he should also get results back from documents that used UN or UNO etc.

Well we will see the outcome of the development.

Thanxs for your help!
