Introducing Drupal Search

Posted by vkr11 on June 18, 2008 at 10:06pm

I am a fan of Drupal and spend a lot of time at drupal.org, following the new topics, modules & themes. However many times the search function is disabled during high traffic or when I am not logged in. I had been using the Google CSE block for myself, however I thought it would be fun to share it with all the community. So I spend a evening creating a page, registered a domain and walla we have the Drupal Search Engine.

The search engine is pretty self revealing give it a spin and let me know any feedbacks.

Don't miss out the refinement just above your search results which can help you narrow down the results (hopefully a plus over drupal.org search).

To see the search engine visit Drupal Search at http://drupalsearch.org

Hi Great idea, but when I

Hi
Great idea, but when I tried out the search terms "modules" or "recipe" (had recipe module in mind", there were simply no results. Am I doing something wrong or misunderstood something?

Give it another spin

There was a problem with the .htaccess. It should be working now.

Searchdrupal.org seems a bit better

Victor nice idea.

I checked out your site, but it seems that http://searchdrupal.org has one (actually a few) up on you. They have broken out the various areas of the drupal site and have made it quite easy to search each of them. Maybe you should look into doing the same.

I also just found out about the module finder at drupalmodules.com http://drupalmodules.com/module-finder. That's very useful too!

Matt, The idea was to share

Matt,

The idea was to share with the community what I already use for my own search. Ofcourse the best would be to have a working drupal search.
I also like drupalmodules and it is a great resource. Its a good thing to have people more options.

I was also a bit frustrated

I was also a bit frustrated trying to find the native drupal search function - I think the site should at least have a messgae somewhere telling people why its been disabled - I was pulling my hair out trying to find it through the site, until i came to this thread, thanks Victor, great work on your search site!

Module search

Posted by JohnForsythe on June 19, 2008 at 1:44pm

If you're looking for modules, definitely check out Module Finder. It searches as you type, highlighting your keywords in real-time, and it even shows module ratings! Disclaimer: It's my project ;)

PS: Isn't it kind of ironic to run blog.drupalsearch.org on blogger? ;p
