Hi,
I would like to implement a very simple text indexing system (full
text search) for one of our products. I know there are a few products
our there I can use in combination with RDBMS etc... But I would like
to keep the 3rdParty components down to a minimum. So I thought, if I
could implement something myself and be able to compile it into our
software, that would be great.
I must admit, I have no idea how text indexing software work. So maybe
my idea is unrealistic. Either way, does anybody think something like
this is possible in a few days? Anybody got some articles or
documents explaining the basics of how text indexing and full text
search systems work?
This may help - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-text_index
From giving a little help to a Rebol text indexing project, I would
think that "a few days" is very optimistic. The user documentation for
that project may give you an indication of what is likely to be
involved - http://www.rebol.org/documentation.r?script=skimp.r

Peter
