When "IncrementalSearch" does it, it works roughly as Jim described it under 1 above (although there is no need that it works the the "primary key" directly).
Right.
Unless the indexes are able to return sorted (partial results), we need to determine the results first and then sort them. And that takes time at least linear in the number of hits (to determine the sort values for the documents).
OK, at least this avoids the big intermediate results when searching over several indexes. But you still have to get all of the results, and sort them before you can return the X first. I have the impression that Lucene somehow solves this with their sorting indexes, but I'm not sure, and I haven't tried to understand the code. -- Lennart Regebro: Zope and Plone consulting. http://www.colliberty.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
