Kunena 6.3.0 released

The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.3.0 [K 6.3.0] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.4.x/5.0.x/5.1.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.3

The Kunena Search plugin added additional functionality to the standard Joomla search feature. Please do not confuse this plugin with the module that is used to display a search box; questions about the module are covered in another category.

This category is for the plugin developed, endorsed, maintained and supported by the Kunena project team. The topics in this category only relate to the plugin developed for K 2.0.

If you are having problems then, for your own benefit, it would save us all a lot of time if you would kindly post your configuration report when you ask for help from this forum. If you do not post your configuration report we will not ask you for it but you will probably not get your problem solved, either.

Question General Questions about Search Plug-in

General Questions about Search Plug-in was created by AzurRhAya
I have a fresh install of Joomla 2.5.9 and Kunena 2.0.4... Before I commit to this for my purposes, I'm trying to understand what is possible with search functionality. Although currently, there is no content in Joomla per se, and initially all of the content we want to be able to search will be within Kunena - my concern is the default way that Kunena search shows the results. Specifically, that the search term is not highlighted, and if it's a long post the term may not even appear in the truncated results. It's important for our purposes that the results highlight the search term, or otherwise make it clearly visible in the results. Since eventually we will have a great deal of content, and often very long posts with technical terms we need to be able to search for.

For starters, I'm not 100% clear if the Kunena search plug-in is supposed work with the Joomla Smart Search Plug-in (as opposed to the old default Joomla search)?.

Going on that assumption, I currently I have Joomla Smart Search enabled - but it doesn't index the content in Kunena - even though I have the Kunena search plug-in enabled. So - is this because I'm misunderstanding what it's meant to do, or how to set it up? Or is it just because the Kunena search plug-in has some issues (given what I read in the documentation)...

Is it possible that the Joomla 3.0 would succeed here? I'd be willing to test that, if it will possibly give me the results I'm after.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Below is my config report:
