× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

| Google does have a good search engine.  If I could afford their search
| appliance, I'd grab it in a second.

I've heard-a this, but don't know any details...  What does it do (allow
same Google capabilities focused on one's site?) and how much?

| Unfortunately, you guys (and girls) are so prolific, I would be
| submitting a new URL to Google every 10 seconds or so.

Seems feasible?

| immediately.

The Google ranking mechanism is, naturally, not Open Source and is
proprietary.  However, there is a fair bit of info on what  METADATA tags
can do to improve indexing and searching.  (Again, don't know details about
it, m'self.)  My understanding is that the more a site is referenced, the
higher priority Google gives it...  If so, the more folks that reference M-L
through Google the better it would perform automatically.
