The mnoGoSearch extension is one of the few PHP extensions that isn't packaged
by Debian. Additionally, the version of the mnoGoSearch extension in PHP
4.3.10 seems to be incompatible with the version of mnoGoSearch in Debian
Sarge. Here's how to upgrade the extension and build a php4-mnogosearch
package:
/usr/src# apt-get build-dep php4
/usr/src# apt-get install mnogosearch-dev mnogosearch-mysql
/usr/src# apt-get source php4
/usr/src# cd php4-4.3.10/
/usr/src/php4-4.3.10# ./debian/rules patch
/usr/src/php4-4.3.10# curl http://xn.pinkhamster.net/download/php4-mnogosearch.patch | patch -p1
/usr/src/php4-4.3.10# cd ext/mnogosearch
/usr/src/php4-4.3.10/ext/mnogosearch# curl http://mnogosearch.org/Download/php/mnogosearch-php-extension-1.96.tar.gz | tar xvz
/usr/src/php4-4.3.10/ext/mnogosearch# mv 1.96/* .
/usr/src/php4-4.3.10/ext/mnogosearch# rmdir 1.96/
/usr/src/php4-4.3.10/ext/mnogosearch# cd ../..
/usr/src/php4-4.3.10# ./debian/rules binary
You can now install the php4-mnogosearch package located in /usr/src.
If you're using SQLite or PostgreSQL, you should be able to install the correct
mnogosearch-* package instead of mnogosearch-mysql, but I haven't tested doing
so.
For the lazy, you can just add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://packages.pinkhamster.net/
sarge main
Then run apt-get install php4-mnogosearch.
Update 11/02/05: I've updated the Sarge package to 4.3.10-16.
Update 11/06/06: I've updated the Sarge package to 4.3.10-18.
Update 05/05/07: I've updated the Sarge package to 4.3.10-20.
Update 08/10/07: I've updated the Sarge package to 4.3.10-22. I also
put a copy of the mnogosearch extension tarball in my download directory because mnogosearch.org is currently
down.

Back in 1999, after the Lincoln Navigator was introduced, I joked, "Next year,
people will be driving semis around town." Looks like I was only off by a few
years.
MSNBC has a picture and
details on the 14,500-pound behemoth.
But does anybody really need a vehicle that is nine feet tall, eight feet wide,
21 1/2 feet long and gets about seven miles on a gallon of diesel?
No.
"Anybody can lease a Hummer now for $500 a month. Soccer moms are driving
them," he said. "This is not a soccer mom's vehicle."
We'll see about that.
