I’ve just finished adding fulltext search to Gravl, and, while is still needs some more CSS tweaks, it’s working just great. I took the chance to have a good look at the Searchable plugin and it looks awesome! Sadly, it just kept NPEing at me and complaining that it couldn’t find java.lang.Class! Perhaps it’s a victim of the RC-flux, no doubt it will resurface as 1.0 settles in.

Anyways, I ripped the SearchService out of Groovyblogs, and I was up and running in an hour. I must bundle that thing into a LuceneSearch plugin someday… it’s really very handy. Feel free to have a search in that box at the top right, “Pebble” gives you a good chance to see the paginate in action.

So that last real piece of the Gravl puzzle is image upload and management. But right now I’ve got to get cracking on my “Grails Extreme Makeover” talk for G2X.
