Hello
Is only the implemented Drupal Search Engine supported?
What about Xapian and Solr, which replaces the drupal search engine?

#1
As currently implemented (trapping the search form), ZG is tied to the builtin search.
However, nothing prevents it from being made more general. In Drupal fashion, this would typically involve offering a hook which other search modules could implement to log their searches. If you are one of the maintainers of one of these other modules, I'd be interested indeed in seeing how to implement this for the modules dedicated to these other search engines, and modifying ZG accordingly.
#2
The latest version in the D6 branch traps the existing forms and installs itself as a submit handler for these. This replaces the older (fragile) mechanism.
In order to work, it has to know how to obtain query information from the forms, meaning that if the query forms are built to a format compatible with
search.module, they should now work with any search engine. Can you try it ?
