Re: [xwiki-devs] Using search apis

I am not sure of why the search requires programming rights but I'm putting a wild guess on the fact that if you would use normal rights check, you might need to check if the user that performs the search has view rights on each page that might result in the search, which of course it's almost impossible. However, what I want you to understand is that using the programming rights from a page saved by an admin is not a "workaround", but an intended feature of xwiki. Many applications use this. If you still want to use the search from wherever you want, you might need to write your own plugin. However, i suggest you have a good look at the lucene plugin first. Cristian
