2004-07-12 Search engine

These past two days I have been working on a search engine for news. This energy consultancy I made the search engine for has a huge amount of news or rather reports and well you know how it goes...they want a search engine and I know how to make one. My first search engine with Midgard.

As I have previously explained I added two multiselect fields to the schema for some keywords to be added to parameters. These keywords are then used in the search. There is two selections for the keywords and a normal text input field for searching a word in the content.

I used these Midgard functions in the search engine:

mgd_get_object_by_guid()
mgd_list_topic_articles()
mgd_list_topics()

I most likely forgot a function or two from that list...doesn't really matter does it? The main thing is that the search engine seems to be working as it should, I'm happy with it and I did learn things during the process.
