Hi all,
I have now extended the functionality of nnglimpse.el to other search
engines, too. (Well, only to freeWAIS-sf, really.)
Those who might want to try it are welcome to download it from
<URL:ftp://ls6-ftp.cs.uni-dortmund.de/pub/src/emacs/nnir.el>.
See the beginning of the file for more documentation. I'd like to
extract a few paragraphs from this documentation:
;; Restrictions:
;;
;; * Currently, this expects that you use nnml or another
;; one-file-per-message backend.
;; * It can only search one mail backend.
;; * There are restrictions to the Glimpse setup.
;; * There are restrictions to the Wais setup.
...
;; Todo, or future ideas:
;; * There is currently no error checking.
;;
;; * The summary buffer display is currently really ugly, with all the
;; added information in the subjects. How could I make this
;; prettier?
;;
;; * A function which can be called from an nnir summary buffer which
;; teleports you into the group the current article came from and
;; shows you the whole thread this article is part of.
;; Implementation suggestions?
;;
;; * Support other mail backends. In particular, probably quite a few
;; people use nnfolder. How would one go about searching nnfolders
;; and producing the right data needed? The group name and the RSV
;; are simple, but what about the article number?
;; Have you got other ideas?
Do not hesitate to tell me what you think. I'll also be happy to send
you the file by mail if you like.
