EXCITING NEW STUFF!! (01/04/2007)
As you might be aware, Joomla! recently launched the official joomlacode.org website. The site was setup in response to the decreasing performance of the old forge. WATS has now moved it's code base to the new joomlacode.org website! (http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/wats/)
I was recently contacted by a user of WATS who has kindly donated some code they have written. You can download a copy of their search bot and install it on your Joomla! site. The bot, if published, integrates seamlessly with the normal search facility, allowing you to search your Joomla! tickets for the first time!
