Greets all, I have been working with htDig for almost a year now, and see a dramatic = difference in the performance between version 3.1.x and 3.2.x. I am = currently forced to use 3.2.x, because phrase searching is a necessity = for the projects that I work on, however, the performance handicaps of = 3.2.x (indexing times and htmerge instability) make using it very time = consuming for large-scale indexes (over 50,000 documents). How = difficult or how far away is the addition of phrase searching to the = stable release? That is the key feature for several people I have talked = to that would be the biggest improvement in the stable release. I've = worked somewhat-extensively with other information retrieval systems - = would it be easier to use the phrase search code of another public = system as a template for implementing phrase capability? I would love to contribute to the development effort if I could get some = specific direction on what would need changing in htDig to enable = phrases. Ravi Starzl ViWire |
