I'm looking for any recommendations about how we might build a 
new/modified Search results page to fit our repository and users.  For 
example we'd like users to be able to search on a group of collections but 
not all collections; exclude "non-content" documents such as images 
embedded in other documents; apply field-based filters. These are all 
things we can do very nicely in the query language.  I'm looking for 
advice about  whether/how we can provide a new Search UI within the Daisy 
Wiki structure, and the best way to approach that (an extension?)  We have 
some technical knowledge but no deep Cocoon expertise.  It would be nice 
to modify/extend from an existing page if possible rather than start from 
scratch.

Thanks for any advice! 

PS -- I'm happy to nominate Daisy for a CMS award (and just did).  My 
reason was that, in my opinion, it provides the best combination of vision 
and practical implementation that I've seen.  I like the 'one-bucket' 
repository vs wiki separation, the elegance of both the CMS model and the 
implementation, the Apache/MySQL foundation, and the overall combination 
of ease of use and scalability.  Thank you.
