So,
first of all respect to the work you have done and the time you have spent!
I must admit that I haven't followed the earlier discussions about the search engine topic, but I got my own views on it. Probably the search function within the Monastery is more likely to produce a useful result when you're looking for perlish answers than a general search engine. So I wouldn't use The Google for finding my answers in the first place.

Another goals might be to get more perl coders here. I'd think this is better achieved by getting some links to the Monastery Gates in the right places where a common perl coder would look for help.

Thus I'd spent no time on the effort of making perlmonks.org search engine friendly. But if you had some fun doing all that and got the feeling you provided something useful/important you're probably right - besides being a valuable part of the worldwide perm community :). And so -once again for the closing- respect to your efforts!

Regards... Stefan
