I guess, this would only change the following: - (indexing-)database size: not critical - index generation time: only notable during first initialization - search time: insignificant (as far as I understand lucene and xapian) Thus the impact of this feature should be acceptable. (I never tested indexing with big projects, thus I can only suppose these effects) > My only concern is that we probably need a more > powerful search form to avoid unnecessary matches from places where > people are not interested.

Improvements regarding the search interface are part of one of our Summer of Code applications. That would help in this case, of course ... greetings, Lars ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
