Re: OpenFTS

Dan,

how large is your database ? OpenFTS is what you need because it supports
instant indexing and have access to metadata. I heard about some
large archives up to 10 mln documents, which use OpenFTS. Proper tuning
of database setup in general and OpenFTS is required. In case you want
commercial support you ask me in private mail.

I want to perform key word searches across these articles, ranked by relevance and have looked at a number of solutions, including swish-e and ht://dig, but OpenFTS looks like an great solution -- if it works well.
