/**
 * Manages the search feature of Jive. It defines properties of the Jive indexer
 * for searching. Indexing can either be done real-time by calling
 * indexMessage() every time a new message is created, or by running the indexer
 * in timed update mode. The latter mode is probably preferable since it allows
 * for faster message posting.<p>
 *
 * The automated updating mode can be adjusted by setting how often batch
 * indexing is done. You can adjust this interval to suit the needs of your
 * forums. Frequent updates mean that messages will be searchable more quickly.
 * Less frequent updates use fewer system resources.<p>
 *
 * If you are not using the Jive search system at all (for example, if you have
 * your own search technology that you'd rather use), you should disable the
 * search feature entirely. Doing this may speed up many operations throughout
 * Jive.<p>
 *
 * The following Jive properties correspond to the search manager settings:<ul>
 *
 *      <li> <tt>search.enabled</tt> -- <tt>true</tt> or <tt>false</tt> to
 *              indicated if search should be enabled or disabled. When
 *              disabled, add and delete operations will be ignored, and auto-
 *              indexing is turned off. If this propety is not set, search
 *              is enabled by default.
 *      <li> <tt>search.autoIndexEnabled</tt> -- <tt>true</tt> or <tt>false</tt>
 *              to indicate if auto-indexing of messages is enabled. When
 *              enabled, new messages will automatically be added to the index
 *              at the specified time interval. If this property is not set,
 *              auto indexing is enabled by default.
 *      <li> <tt>search.autoIndexInterval</tt> -- value in minutes between
 *              automatic updates of the search index if auto indexing is
 *              enabled. If this property is not set, the default is 10 minutes.
 *      <li> <tt>search.lastIndexed</tt> -- a timestamp in milleseconds that
 *              indicates the last time the search index was updated. This value
 *              is automatically maintained by this class as the index is
 *              modified.
 * </ul>
