Re: [campsite-dev] Search development question
  • Hi Tim,

    Sorry for the very long delay; Campsite already has a search engine which is
    not as capable as MySQL's but I'm thinking now whether it's worth to change
    it now, in 3.0 or wait for 3.1. Anyway, your way of thinking is very good
    and if you already did some work we would be happy to accept a patch.

    Please let me know what you think,
    Mugur
