These functions allow you to access the mnoGoSearch (former
UdmSearch) free search engine. mnoGoSearch is a full-featured search
engine software for intranet and internet servers, distributed under the
GNU license. mnoGoSearch has a number of unique features, which makes it
appropriate for a wide range of applications from search within your
site to a specialized search system such as cooking recipes or newspaper
search, FTP archive search, news articles search, etc. It offers
full-text indexing and searching for HTML, PDF, and text documents.
mnoGoSearch consists of two parts. The first is an indexing mechanism
(indexer). The purpose of the indexer is to walk through HTTP, FTP, NEWS
servers or local files, recursively grabbing all the documents and
storing meta-data about that documents in a SQL database in a smart and
effective manner. After every document is referenced by its
corresponding URL, meta-data is collected by the indexer for later use
in a search process. The search is performed via Web interface. C, CGI,
PHP and Perl search front ends are included.

Note: This extension is not
available on Windows platforms.
In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with
mnoGosearch support by using the
--with-mnogosearchoption. If
you use this option without specifying the path to mnoGosearch, PHP will
look for mnoGosearch under /usr/local/mnogosearch
path by default. If you installed mnoGosearch at a different location
you should specify it: --with-mnogosearch=DIR.
Note:
PHP contains built-in MySQL access library, which can be used to
access MySQL. It is known that mnoGoSearch is not compatible with
this built-in library and can work only with generic MySQL
libraries. Thus, if you use mnoGoSearch with MySQL, during PHP
configuration you have to indicate the directory of your MySQL
installation, that was used during mnoGoSearch configuration, i.e. for
example:
--with-mnogosearch --with-mysql=/usr.
