Hi,
Is anyone working on adding Full Text support (indexing and queries) to xindice ?
I have a 60,000+ record database that need revamped. It isn't currently XML but I think it would be ideally suited to becoming an XML database. Performing updates using XUpdate would be fantastic. Being able to execute XPath/XQuery queries would be nice but for most users the need for a simple, high performance keyword search is essential.
The data is currently imported into a BRS/Search database but our licence for that will expire in a couple of years and the University is unlikely to continue to pay for it.
A possible temporary would be to have all the data stored and updated in an xindice database which is then exported to a full text database for keyword searches. Are there any Free high-performance full-text databases out there ? I find it quite hard to assess their performance without actually going to the effort of trying them out. I tried ISearch which initially seemed like a good solution but it performed very badly when doing a join on a very common keyword and an uncommon one.
Cheers,
nick.
