Hello,

The "results by YAHOO! search" is a marketing thing that we have no real control over. I promise that the actual project search engine is using Lucene.

As for defaulting to OR, it was decided that the new search should function as similarly as possible to the old search system by default. The new search engine, however, will happily handle boolean queries in the search box, so feel free to search for "lucene and java". We're working on a comprehensive search guide which will explain the features in more details but some of the new things you can do include phrase searches and prefix searches.

And I have to admit, we haven't stomped out all of the bugs yet. If you do find something that seems genuinely broken, please submit a support request.

Hi,

I found Sourceforge's search is still "results by YAHOO! search". What does that mean? And currently, seems the search condition for the keywords is still OR, not AND. This makes search for "lucene java" returns a long list, yet without the one I wanted in the first several rows.

Hello,

I just wanted to let everyone know that we've officially announced that the new SourceForge.net search system is based on Lucene. It's been in operation for over a month now and we're very happy with it. I'd also like to personally thank Erik Hatcher for helping me out during development.

You can find Lucene listed in the Site Software section of our support guide here: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php? docid=11230&group_id=1#site_software
