Using the default drupal search engine to query different databases
We have a dual drupal/mediawiki installation and would like some way of meshing the two search engines together. Preferably by having the drupal one querying not only the drupal search data tables in the DB, but also the mediawiki one. Is there a simple way of doing this. For example, by using cron to update mediawiki-data into drupal-search-data or would the different table structures prevent that from being possible? has anyone managed to "plug in" the drupal search into another db...an additional db, that is? Thanks Neil

There are a couple of hooks that search.module uses. Using these I think it could be possible to integrate the mediawiki data into the Drupal search tables.
