[Search-l] advanced search

[Mark (Markie)]

i agree that first we need to be able to handle the indexing of non-text
content such as pictures etc before moving onto specific features for this
content which would be useless without it (like building the roof of the
house without any walls)

is this being considered by the wikia team at all? or do they have any
thoughts as to how to progress with this at all.  IMO we should consider
grub for this in the same way as we already do with text

regards
