Will somebody please help me? I have tried my best to set up
marc-search, and it works much better than before (when everything was
wrong). I do not get server errors, and the page appears fine, but I
don't get any results. The search engine gives me the following message:
Summary of Search Results
Searched 0 out of 0 messages...
0 matches in Body
If anybody has an idea I will be more than happy (I am very tired of
this).
Unfortunately, there is no current maintainer for marc-search, so the
only ones that can give you help are those that still use it (anyone
willing to take over maintenance?).
Not knowing the details of marc-search, I can only give general
advice:
. Is it configured properly? Maybe it trying to scan for a MHonArc
archive in the wrong location. The summary messages looks like
it is scaning a location that has no message files. Are their any
message files in the directory you have marc-search configured to
scan?
. Do you know Perl? If so, start hacking away.
Note, you may want to consider using a search engine. I've used
Namazu, <http://www.namazu.org/>, and is fairly easy to build and
install (and understands MHonArc message files).
I plan some day to make available a general mail archiving system that
uses Procmail, MHonArc, and Namazu as a starter kit for those serious
about creating and managing mail archives. I have a basis from the
internal archives I have setup at my current and past jobs. I just
need to make modifications that support easier auto-configuration and
some more flexibility.
