Re: Sorting

2002-06-21 Thread Joel Bernstein
I have used the in-memory array approach and it worked well. I was able to return sorted result sets of over a million records in 500 milli-seconds. The one down side to this is that keeping the arrays in memory really limits your ability to add content because the new content needs to make it

Stemming

2002-05-02 Thread Joel Bernstein
In our search application the user can turn stemming off and on. With Lucene will I have to maintain two sets of indexes to create this functionality, one stemming and one non-stemming index? Or Is there a way to query a stemming index so that it does not return stems? Thanks, Joel

Options for sorting on an integer or date

2002-05-01 Thread Joel Bernstein
At my company we trying to decide on a new search engine. I am very impressed with what I see with Lucene and am thinking very seriously of not going with AltaVista, FAST etc... One of things that is very important to us is sorting by an integer or by a date, which Lucene currently cannot do. So

2 Questions

2002-04-30 Thread Joel Bernstein

Lucene's scalability

2002-04-29 Thread Joel Bernstein
Is there a known limit to the number of documents that Lucene can handle efficiently? I'm looking to index around 15 million, 2K docs which contain 7-10 searchable fields. Should I be attempting this with Lucene? Thanks, Joel
