Re: [development] Request for Comments: Search.inc

I am writing to request comments on a proposed modification to Drupal core. Proposal: move the core search functionality in Drupal into an include file which can be specified on a per site basis.

I'm all for more flexible search and indexing. But I fail to see how it is more modular to move all the code from a module and into an include file. Modules can already by be swapped for alternate implementations using our usual modules page. So this would just move something that can be done in the UI into something that has to be done by hand. Probably you want to do some refactoring along the way which is the important part of the proposal.
