I've used switch-e many times over the years. Do you think it is lacking in any way compared to Xapian or Plucene? What about compared to commercial systems such as Verity or Autonomy? I've felt that Switch-e was a bit "long in the tooth" owing to its legacy. Do you disagree? If you were not deeply involved in the Switch-e project, would you choose it over Xapian or Plucene (or any other system)? > That said, I would suggest Xapian over Plucene, hands down. Why do you say? Any particular gripes? > And I would also check out KinoSearch, which is (along with > Xapian) going to be one of the optional backend IR libraries > for the next version of Swish-e. I've heard of KinoSearch before, but I've not tried it out. It seemed that Plucene and Xapian had more established Perl interfaces, but I could be wrong. -Jesse- Jesse Erlbaum The Erlbaum Group, LLC 817 Broadway, 10th floor New York, NY 10003 212-684-6161 (office) 917-647-3059 (mobile) [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
