Re: [htdig-dev] Idea: Option to disable 'phrase indexing'..

[Lachlan A. <lh...@us...>]

Greetings Robert,

That is a good suggestion.  However, Gabriele is right that it is not 
as easy as it sounds...  It was your line of thinking that made me 
introduce the "store_phrases" attribute, with the aim of making the 
behaviour more like 3.1 when set to "false".  Unfortunately, it 
hardly changes the speed at all.  The only reason to keep is it that 
it reduces the database size a bit.

The only way to make the behaviour of 3.2 exactly like 3.1 is to make 
it 3.1.  One option would be to make a package which builds both 
versions -- that is almost what would be needed to get the speed back 
up to 3.1 levels.

Cheers,
Lachlan
