Peter,

Search is very important.

So we really want a unified search package, that can use OpenFTS on postgresql and Intermedia on Oracle. This allows package authors to provide content via service contract and not worry about what database is being used.

Along with this, we need to add package specific, package type specific, and object type specific searches.

The search should probably also allow searching in categories through integration with a general category system.

These are all OpenACS specific items that will greatly enhance any site, but are definitely important for a dotWRK project.
