I've built something with Plucene and it has "issues" that I would not suggest using it. Its terrible slow and resource intensive. I also think development has essentially stopped at this point. (I'm not sure about that.)
KinoSearch shows a great deal of promise IMHO though its a bit nascent. Its developer, Marvin Humphrey, is one of the founding members of the Apache Lucy project[1]. The work being done to KinoSearch comes from that work and will eventually become part of Lucy. Here are some benchmarks presented at OSCON 2006[2] of Lucene style engines indexing 19043 news articles drawn from the Reuters 21578 collection, Distribution 1.0. Lucene 1.9.1 57.71 secs KinoSearch 0.09 62.91 secs Plucene 1.24 1931 secs I suspect that KinoSearch has gotten even a touch faster since then. You'll want to use version 0.2 which is currently in a developers release. Versions prior to 0.2 were considered alphas whose API and index format are subject to compatibility breaks with v0.2 going forward. Hope that helps. <tim/> [1] http://lucene.apache.org/lucy/ [2] http://www.rectangular.com/downloads/KinoSearch_OSCON2006.pdf -- Timothy Appnel Appnel Solutions http://appnel.com/ Blogcast / Powerful blogging systems made easy http://blogcast.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
