Hi Jeff,
I don't understand a lot of what's been said about evaluating these search engines, but I'll comment anyway.
Since, for me at least, easy to use but full-featured search software is a vital part of any archive, the ideal search engine should be powerful, yet intuitive to operate, or come with good instructions. A tutorial would be helpful.
I'd like to be able to search the results of an earlier search. Mac Oglesby
It's starting to get bloody. All right! By private email, one person noted that Xapian is not doing so hot on Czech. As in not returning search results. Another managed to craft a query that causes PyLucene to throw an exception. Jeff and I are patching up the staggering contenders as best we can, and then sending them right back out for more punishment. In the meantime, I'd love to hear some pointed comments on the user interface. Do people prefer Omega's "search engine standard" layout, or PyLucene's "blend into service" appearance? -Jeff _______________________________________________ Discussion list for The Mail Archive Gossip@jab.org http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
