Talking about search in Xoops it think that feature needs to be revisited. Their is a need to have the ability configure it from the admin area to be able to have blocks that have more options for the admin to configure. Admin might have ti need to have allow only certain modules to be queried in a search as well as the results display order and style. Maybe an existing search module can be adopted as part of xoops dafult modules. Search fecilities certainly make like much easier when locating information, especially when sites grow large.

my taughts on this, probably someone else can elaborate on this.
