Hi
I read the blog entry about Geoserver and Google’s Geo Search and I’m fascinated. Can I grab the 1.7 alpha version and play around or do I need a trunk version?
Mit freundlichem Gruss

You do need a trunk version as well as a community module... not
sure how the build is done for it, maybe a profile... I'll let
Justin/David chime in and provide more details

The GeoSearch module is not included in (pre-)releases; it is still a community module. You can build it pretty easily, however. All that is needed is to check out the most recent version of GeoServer trunk (and I do mean most recent, the last couple of commits have improved things greatly) and run "mvn install -Prest,geosearch'
This will produce web/target/geoserver.war which can be deployed normally; you should probably back up your data dir just to be on the safe side.
GeoServer by itself will provide the GeoSearch index under http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/sitemap.xml (follow links therein to see the output describe individual layers).
Additionally, if you set up a recent checkout of GeoWebCache and create a layer with the format set to 'geosearch-kml' then you can point Google Earth at http://localhost:8080/geowebcache/service/kml/<layer>\.geosearch\-kml\.kml to see automatically regionated data. This requires going to the GeoServer configuration page and specifying the attribute to use; GeoServer will then ensure that features with higher values of this attribute show up when Google Earth is at world-scale zoom levels and those with lower values show up as you zoom in.
Feel free to bother me with any questions or problems; thanks a lot for the interest!
