The example I sent you uses an external structure we call the "facet map" to look up clusters on the fly[1]. It is an addition to the Lucene index that can be updated at reasonably little overhead. - Which still might be too much for a desktop box of course. > Aside the question of scalability, I am wondering how to display this in the > beagle-search GUI ? Without cluttering the interface. Well; I suggest showing results like in that link :-) Keep a flat list of all results that can then be refined by clicking on the clusters. Cheers, Mikkel [1]: I can provide a pointer to the code if anybody wants to look at it. It is Java though. _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list Dashboard-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
