[Building Sakai] Anybody using search in a clustered setting ?

Fri Nov 5 09:40:19 PDT 2010

Hi George,

We turned off the Search after one week when we deployed Sakai in production
because of the load on the server, and never turned it back on. I'd like to
find a way to get it to work again as well. We have not really looked at
alternatives, except maybe skipping the full content indexation of certain
document types like Word documents or PDFs.
