BuddyPress.org

I was reading though @whyisjake post on incorporating Google Custom Search ( http://buddypress.org/2009/04/google-custom-search-for-buddypress-wpmu/ ) thinking it would be perfect for what I’m trying to achieve with my search results.

Then right at the end of the post Jake Spurlock writes, “Still, groups and member pages are architected in such a way that that Google can’t crawl them effectively. I fear that without their inclusion in sitemaps or a redesign of how they are accessed through Buddypress, Google Site Search will fail to find them. We’ll see.”.

What I need is to be able to search my groups by custom meta, ie: group tags along with other meta such as the groups location ( gpress ) and so on. Would using a site map plug-in solve this or is there a way not mentioned?

I can’t test it untill I get a host which will be in about a month.. Just trying to prioritize my work flow and tring to see whats going to be the biggest head ache
