Hi. I'm going to combine replies just so I don't hit wikitech-l a dozen times.

In this case, you need to be sure to escape quotation marks in particular. Bergi wrote: > Cool. I didn't know that there had already been an engine? Yes, I hacked one up some time ago.

As the logs have grown, grepping has taken longer and longer. Plus the results truncation is done at the Python level, not the grep level, so a search with a lot of results takes much longer to return results, as I recall. A proper search index is going to be much better. :D MZMcBride _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
