Omnifind plug-in for Sametime 7.5 from IBM


Tags :


I downloaded the deployment plug-in (not the source version yet) to test it out and see what help it could provide.  The first thing I noticed is that it unpacked into the wrong directory.  You are supposed to download the zip then unpack straight to the plug-in directory of the Sametime client.  It added an extra folder layer so I moved everything up to the root folder and it started working right away.  No big deal, just packaging.

From there I started manipulating the browser to use (a button to browse the local OS would be nice instead of having to figure out and type it in manually) and what search host.  I couldn't figure out how to use my Sametime custom search engine yet, but it worked well otherwise and you can change the name and play with some of the basic code to make a nice internal Intranet and specifically targeted search.  You could then deploy this to the right people for some good quick reference help.

Take a peek if you haven't.
