# About Harvest Search System

See Harvest Homepage for more information about Harvest.

This is part of efforts to use Zebra as full text indexer for Harvest.

This is still work in progress and following issues need to be resolved:

- Proximity isn't implemented, yet.
- We are currently working with well formed XML files. Would it be useful to use valid XML files? Do we need XML DTD or Schema?
- Create a query interface which enables to use the rich features of Zebra, but is not too complicated for casual users.
- Build an XSL for Harvest's XML files?
- Move the functionality of soif2xml.pl into broker.

Also, see Harvest to-do list for more details of planned changes.
