Hey Techsters,

I've got a question for you.  I'd like to make the library's site searchable. 
I could do it easily with google but I'd prefer not to have the advertising on 
there.  Does anyone know of any other--preferably open-source--site search 
software that is easily configured?

That reminds me of something else.  Could the library be linked from the main 
site? Perhaps from the top tool bar so as to make it conspicuous but if there 
is a better place that'd be ok too. The url is 
http://urbana.indymedia.org/library/ I'd like to advertise the fact that it's 
there too.  Paul, when I post news about it, would you be willing to put the 
grand opening on the features section?

Thanks alot.

James Jacobs
