Two major obstacles are
- Google bases its search functionality on cached pages.
I would assume that most people use the search functionality to find
documentation which gets updated quite a lot. Google might offer outdated
links or forget to point to a valuable resource
- We would depend on Google a bit
Now Google might be a reliable web site/service, I'd rather have the search
functionality of our web site implemented on the Gentoo infrastructure. I
would even hope that we can have some tweaking possibilities in our search
functionality, such as:
- Restricting pages to /doc (documentation), /main (Gentoo information),
/news (News items+GWN), /proj (project stuff)
- Restricting languages (en, fr, ... and any combination)
- Have the search points assigned so that hits are calculated with certain
weights:
* title's get most of the points, unless many titles are selected
* abstract's get the second most points, yada yada
* content get third most points
