Search Integration With Wordpress

I'd like to integrate forum search with the main Wordpress search on my site so there is a single federated search across the site posts as well as the forum. 

Has anyone done anything close to this?

Thanks

we would too!! Not as easy as it sounds! But, we do have an open ticket to do it. Likely wont make into 4.1, but maybe the next version.

In fact, if anyone out there is aware of a straightforward approach to achieving this then we would love to hear from you.

:( I assume this does not exist? I was searching for something like this.

Not yet.

There was some talk a while back about WP adopting a search plugin/extension written by someone under the  GSOC scheme. That looked promising and I think we could have hooked into it but it seems to have gone quiet on that front at the moment.

One day.

I really hope this happens some day soon. I was trying to code a search integration with mediawiki and the more I learned the more I saw how hopeless it is to hook into Wordpress' search. Not too happy with wordpress right now actually; I'm considering the developer friendly drupal but that would be a LOT of work to switch over and maybe the grass really isn't that much greener. Hopefully I don't have to do that.

Our version 5 will allow people to optionally include the blog posts in a forum search – not the other way round sadly. Not yet anyway.
