I was reading recently that MySQL has fulltext on InnoDB built in.. don't know much about it but I came across that recently while googling. Firebird has no fulltext built in to it I guess, eh? Also does the Ioda Joda have positions of your search words found? Or it just weighs the results and throws away any positions of the words. I.e. if the first instance of "searchterm" was found, does it record that position, or just throwaway position info? I was thinking of using it like google too, but having the positions of the search terms in the document would help to give a preview of the text like google. Or is there some other way joda does this? You could just parse the entire document without using Joda for that (separate utility) and use joda for the weighting only, but I wondered if joda had something built in to memorize where the search terms were located in the document. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
