This plugin adds full text search to ikiwiki, using the
[xapian](http://xapian.org/) engine and its
[omega](http://xapian.org/docs/omega/overview.html) frontend.

Ikiwiki will handle indexing new and changed page contents, using the
[[cpan Search::Xapian]] perl modules. Note that it indexes page contents
before they are preprocessed and converted to html, as this tends to
produce less noisy search results. Also, since it only indexes page
contents, files copied by the [[rawhtml]] plugin will not be indexed, nor
will other types of data files.

There is one setting you may need to use in the config file. `omega_cgi` 
should point to the location of the omega cgi program. The default location
is `/usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega/omega`.
