Hi, no that is not my opinion, that is the one sentence I heard most during the last IPC in Mainz when I talked to others about Zend_Search_Lucene. The widespread belief was that Zend_Search_Lucene is a very nice tool but it is damn slow with a larger index. I need to add that I did not find out if this is related to indexing or searching or both.
So how are your experiences with Zend_Search_Lucene regarding performance? Is it really that slow when handling millions of datasets? Which process is slow, the indexing or the searching? Did anyone encounter performance issues with Zend_Search_Lucene and managed to solve it? If yes, how? What about best practices regarding performance. I just built an application yet that only has ~1.000 datasets and I did not notice any issues yet. But maybe someone worked on a much bigger index and can provide us with his or her experiences? Thanks and best regards, Ralf
