Searchable Forum

[dal]

Just a quick suggestion. I noticed the Dataface forums are not searchable/indexed. It would be a good idea since users could do a quick search to see if someone else has run into the problem before. Eg) I was looking for an way to add a new tab to the table view, which Steve has already answered it in this post (http://framework.weblite.ca/forum/dataface-users/95)

But I would have never guessed it based on the topic title!

zForum seems to be good one: http://plone.org/products/zforum
If anybody else has good ideas please pass to Steve.

I agree 100%. It is a real pain that this forum is not searchable. I am following the progress of Ploneboard on the plone-users mailing list and it looks like they have addressed these issues in the new version. I tried to do an upgrade a while back to the newer development version but there were errors and I didn't have time to look into it.

I'll give it another shot one of these days.

I would prefer to stick with Ploneboard if possible because it is native to Plone, whereas Zforum looks to be an altogether different product that they are trying to integrate. Not sure how searching will work out with that.
