I am looking for a module that is comperable to flexisearch for CCK. Does anyone know if there is something in the works like this? I'm sure there are many people who would love to see something like this. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks! =P

cck searchability
I would be willing to cooperate in development of this functionality, however I can assume that it has not been approached yet because of various difficult decisions that would be required:
1) should a cck search system use an indexing approach like search.module did/does?
2) how should such functionality be developped/divided?
I think the following are important requirements:
i) search functionality should be easily developed
-- proper programming behaviour, software cycle etc
ii) search functionality should be scalable
iii) search functionality should be as light as possible and easily divided to make it so
iv) search functionality should be easily integrated into other modules
-- module should be able to implement search without needing to implement the search
gui interfaces
v) searching should be applicable to individual fields, node-types etc or groups thereof

search module
I think the solution is to make use of drupals search module by doing a views integration for it.
Then one could be built searches by using views, that also make use of an index.

Agreeing. Don't duplicate existing functionality.

Yes - Indexing is very Important.
Theming of cck fields as per search results would be a valuable feature.
User should have option to Sort Search Results based on:
Name Relevance Activity Rank Date Taxonomy Points Price etc.
Module should be fully integrated with core to provide Highest Performance.

Provide Lucene based index as a potential replacement (as a contrib module)

cck-date_field
I would like to ask you about the date field in the cck module(drupal 5).
I have installed the cck module and the date module for cck. This module works fine.
But....
exists a way or a module to make a search on this date field.For example, i have a content type with an expire date(date field)-----can somebody search for possible dates in the content type , and bring the results that are before the expire date;
Thanks !!!
