-This plugin is included in ikiwiki, but is not enabled by default. It adds
-full text search to ikiwiki, using the [[HyperEstraier]] engine.
+This plugin adds full text search to ikiwiki, using the
+[xapian](http://xapian.org/) engine, its
+[omega](http://xapian.org/docs/omega/overview.html) frontend, and the
+[[!cpan Search::Xapian]], [[!cpan Digest::SHA1]], and [[!cpan HTML::Scrubber]]
+perl modules.
 
-It's possible to configure HyperEstraier via one of ikiwiki's
-[[templates|wikitemplates]], but for most users, no configuration should be
-needed aside from enabling the plugin.
+The [[ikiwiki/searching]] page describes how to write search queries.
 
-This plugin has a configuration option. To change the path to estseek.cgi,
-set `--estseek=/path/to/estseek.cgi`
+Ikiwiki will handle indexing new and changed page contents. Note that since
+it only indexes page contents, files copied by the [[rawhtml]] plugin will
+not be indexed, nor will other types of data files.
+
+There is one setting you may need to use in the config file. `omega_cgi` 
+should point to the location of the omega cgi program. The default location
+is `/usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega/omega`.
