RE: [DQSD-Users] googlespell add-on

[Glenn Carr]

That's a really good question and people have differing opinions.  My opinion is that when a new feature is not really a search, and/or it requires more than just a single XML file, and/or it doesn't have general appeal (i.e., not many will use it) it should be an optional add-on.    The googlespell spell check sort of fits these requirements -- multiple files, not general appeal, requires some stuff that normal searches don't (a personal license key) -- in my opinion.  It was also a pretty simple one to experiment with as an add-on.   Any more thoughts/opinions?   Glenn  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John W.
