Hey, you know of anything similar to www mech written in php? .. although I
may get the blessing to go ahead and use perl for this.. I could perhaps
give them the "use the best tool for the job" speech. So that not the real
point of this (please no php flame wars).  
 
I had this idea this morning... it may be incredibly stupid..  wonder what
you guys think..  
 
A simple site search engine..  doesn't need to be incredibly complex (i.e.,
no OR NOT etc needed). problem is we have a somewhat archaic permissions
system on our pages (at least IMHO, I'd rather store them in a database)...
I cangrep pages for keywords and figure out what pages could might match,
but I need to "see the page as the current user" so I know if they have
permisisons. I thought, if I used www::mech or similar while "logged in as"
the particular user doing the search, I will know if they can see the page
or not... and if so, return it as a search result.  
 
Feasible? 
 
 
Thanks
