I don't know very much about searching, but this definitely sounds like a good idea. Also, especially when doing free text searching that has large result sets, incremental searching is very beneficial. I know Dieter Maurer has made a Zope2 implementation of this. I would be interested in seeing a bunch of Gurus sit down at some sprint and trying to come up with a catalog engine that is incremental and uses query plans. There is no reason that would not be stupidly fast. :) We can then make a new catalog that uses this engine but has the same API as the old one, to ship with some future version of Zope, say 2.12. -- Lennart Regebro: Zope and Plone consulting. http://www.colliberty.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
