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/.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!

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?

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

Cheers
Andrea
