Item12611: Not able to install KinoSearch addon on TWiki-5.0

-- KalyanPasupuleti - 23 Oct 2013

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: [Tue Oct 15 13:42:33 2013] [error] [client ] malformed header from script. Bad header=<head>: kinosearch, referer: http:///twiki/bin/view/TWiki/KinoSearch [Tue Oct 15 13:49:01 2013] [error] [client ] malformed header from script.

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.
