Just add this one. Manual is not up to date. I uploaded 2.0.0 in
order to have it installed on the translation server ASAP. 2.0.1
will follow soon with the updated manual.

open_basedir + your shell user should be able to access
/opt/mnogosearch.

cli_dispatch.phpsh
And you are missing "mnogosearch" before "-w".

No. TemplaVoila template is removed completely.

Again, this is due to the non–updated manual. I did not expect
anyone to install mnogosearch on Sunday :D

If you are really interested, take a look at the TS options using
Backend. Open Web>Template, TypoScript Object Browser there and see
what options exist under plugin.tx_mnogosearch_pi1. There are
comments there. But generally you do not need to touch anything
because all options are already optimized for the best settings.

I will release 2.0.1 with the updated manual next week.
