Improved Search is coming to Second Life sometime soon according to the Official Linden blog:
"...We have built a system that creates ordinary HTML web pages out of data from the Second Life system. We upload these web pages to an ordinary web server. We have purchased Google Search Appliances to perform the indexing and the new search results. These servers are an off-the-shelf product which Google makes available for purchase by an individual or organization, and the servers and data are hosted at Linden’s co-location facilities. We have not entered into any working partnership with Google."
On the face of it, I was expecting something more exotic than the Google Search Appliance as the solution to search problems in Second Life - though using the Google Search Appliance is a good idea. I suspected, for several months, that Linden Labs was working on a search project ..... I thought they were actually writing something from scratch.
