HI,

Branko suggested to strip wiki syntax from Bloodhound Search results
that is IMHO quite reasonable suggestion. That featue will give us
better search scoring and better highlighting.

I have one question regarding implementation of this feature.
I far as I can see, existing formatters (e.g. trac.wiki.formatter.*
classes) provide wiki to html formatting but not wiki to stripped
text. Do I missed something?

One of the possibility, that I see, is to convert wiki to html and
than convert html to text. That does not look like the most optimal
solution.

Any alternatives, ideas?

Regards, Andrej

I should find out more about how the formatters work! My first thought would be to look at creating a new formatter that strips out syntax but I am not sure how big a job that will be.

I don't mind seeing a sub-optimal solution, particularly if it is likely to be quick enough and quick to create. I think that the double conversion would be giving us the correct results - the rendered html must be considered what the user will want to be able to search, right?

Cheers,
