-I enabled this plugin, but I keep getting the following error message
-every time I refresh or rebuild the wiki:
 
-    updating hyperestraier search index
-    estcmd: ERROR: /home/wiki/wiki/.ikiwiki/hyperestraier: database problem
-    estcmd gather -cm -bc -cl -sd -cl /home/wiki/wiki/.ikiwiki/hyperestraier - exited nonzero: 256
-    done
-
-Nevertheless, searching for pages works as expected, as far as I can tell.

-Have you upgraded hyperestradier since setting up the wiki? Apparently it
-breaks a lot when it's upgraded, I find I often have to re-run ikiwiki
--setup after upgrading hyperestradier to force it to rebuilt its database,
-then incremental updates work again for a while. This is one of the reasons
-I want to change to a different search backend. --[[Joey]]

-It was a completely fresh, completely untouched, unconfigured installation
-of hyperestrainer (Debian unstable on hurd-i386).
-Even when running an `ikiwiki --setup [...] --rebuild` I get this:
-
-    [...]
-    rendering templates/note.mdwn
-    rendering templates/popup.mdwn
-    updating hyperestraier search index
-    estcmd: ERROR: /home/wiki/wiki/.ikiwiki/hyperestraier: database problem
-    estcmd gather -cm -bc -cl -sd -cl /home/wiki/wiki/.ikiwiki/hyperestraier - exited nonzero: 256
-    done
-
-Now I did a `rm -rf ~wiki/wiki/.ikiwiki/hyperestraier` and re-ran
-`ikiwiki --setup [...] --rebuild`:
-
-    [...]
-    rendering templates/note.mdwn
-    rendering templates/popup.mdwn
-    updating hyperestraier search index
-    estcmd: ERROR: /home/wiki/wiki/.ikiwiki/hyperestraier: database problem
-    $ echo $?
-    141
-
-`--rebuild`ing once more, I'm back to the previous error message.

-I guess this is fixed now that it uses xapian. :-) --[[Joey]]
