Hi Alexander Thanks for your message! I absolutely agree, that fulltext should not be included by default in "all" index. Nevertheless, many people love a Google-like search and subconsciously expect fulltext to be queried automatically. The solution will be configurable. We will see how it is going to look exactly as soon as I implement it.

You just get to much garbage in the results. Think of someone searching the papers of Smith, John. Searching full text by default will give you all papers mentioning a "Smith, John" anywhere. Be it authorship, citations within the text as it is just a sample name, what have you... Results will be bad enough if you just search metadata. Or think of stuff like "mentioned in the book of Smith" or "we handle x y z but not <your search term>". For some time a huge union catalogue did something like full text indexing of reviews only. From one day to the next you were not even able to find Gerthsens Physik anymore just as all discussions of physics books that compared book X with Gerthsen floated to the top of the list. You can check this easily in some of those commercially available "discovery" systems. You can discover there a lot you just don't find your papers anymore ;> IMHO full text indices/searches are WAY overrated. But that's my personal opinion of course ;) -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Subject Specialist Central Library 52425 Juelich mail : a.wag...@fz-juelich.de phone: +49 2461 61-1586 Fax : +49 2461 61-6103 www.fz-juelich.de/zb/DE/zb-fi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
