[Slashcode-development] Enabling Journal searching

[Howell, M. <ho...@ra...>]

Hello all,

I've been developing a heavily customized slash (2.2.6) site the past few
months.  I've been tasked with enabling the search feature to include
Journals.  When I dig around the code, I find places where code exists to
search journals (e.g. in Search plugin), but with strong warnings not to
enable it.  Is there anything that I should be cautious of before attempting
to enable this?  When I attempt to run the forbidden function
(search.pl#findJournalEntry(..)), no results ever return.  I have made sure
that the search string exists in a journal entry, as the subject and even in
comments, but still cannot be found by search.pl.

When I dump the actual SQL code to see what's going on, I see some non-ANSI
looking MATCH statements.  Is this some MySQL proprietary thing (like for
fulltext searching)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
