Does this mean that VuFind can be configured to have no pre-indexed content, but be used for federated search of PazPar2 sites only? Our catalog is very small, the number of databases we subscribe to is very small, and I have thought that makes us a candidate for federated search, since we don't have a commercial discovery layer. I'd also be interested in adding indexing of websites. But committing to an ongoing pre-indexing process of ongoing changes to the catalog has kept me from trying VuFind.
