HiMarkus(
MarkusHesse),
From the existing Twiki plugins, I have installed
KinoSearchAddon plugin.
But while searching it is throwing "Internal server error"
My apache error log shows below errors:

I know the plugin was tested on 4.2 & 4.3 versions of twiki. Could you help us fixing this on Twiki-5.0?
Thanks,
Kalyan
Hi Kalyan, I haven't seen KinoSearch evolving for quite some time. From the Foswiki perspective this contribution has been unmaintained and abandoned.
The good message is that there is a replacement to fill the full-text search requirement that KinoSearch once satisfied. Have a look at SolrPlugin. It is well supported and surpasses it in terms of features and performance.
Only "downer": it is a Foswiki-only extension. So you have to convert your TWiki install to Foswiki first before you can make use of these features.
