While in general I don't mind if RiSearch PHP will be included
in DokuWiki (license details we can discuss later), but there are
still several questions:
1) This is quite old script with primitive algorithm.
It should be rewritten long ago, but I don't have time
to work with this script (most efforts were spent on RiSearch Pro,
which is Perl script). While this script is distributed on as-is
basis, every user must made own decision before installing script.
When it will be included into other package, things will be different.
Are you sure it is best option for DokuWiki?
2) Script probably should be modified for DokuWiki. I didn't have
time to look at DokuWiki internals, hopefully it wouldn't be very
difficult.
3) This script doesn't have option to add page into existing
index. After every change site should be reindexed. It is not
good for big sites and there is no solution for this problem
at this time. I have other script in Perl with such option,
but don't know when similar algorithm will be ported into
RiSearch PHP.
