I'm looking into installing a test instance of Xerxes 2 and would like to integrate it with Summon. Now, I'm wondering can Xerxes 2 support metalib category searching with a general search mechanism such as Summon (or primo central or whatever)? Any shove towards documentation is appreciated too.
Thanks,

Xerxes 2 is still very much in development, so try at your own risk. :-)
My timelines on the project has also been greatly extended because of changes here at work. There is no documentation, and I have not ported any of the Metalib functionality over to the system.

Hmm, I see. And looking at Xerxes 2 there will be a bit of a learning curve for old Xerxes users.
Is there any one out in the world that has implemented a Summon search on Xerxes 1.x? Specifically to replace the "general search" function with an indexed search instead of a federated one.
Thanks,

I doubt anyone has done this with Xerxes if Dave hasn't, but a related thing I'm working on right now (it's not done yet) -- It's not Xerxes at all, but I'm working on a library to easily execute and display Summon searches in a Rails application, for instance Blacklight.
May or may not be of interest to you (I forget if you guys use Rails or Blacklight at all), and may be a little bit until it's fully mature (facets especially might not be there for a while), but I'm working on it right now.
Here's the location of the (not finished yet!) library I'm writing to allow searches of various vendor search providers in a Rails app. https://github.com/jrochkind/bento_search
