Hi Kir,
I am honored to receive such close attention by the aspseek team! The big advantage of aspseek over htdig from my perspective is the ability to handle languages with multi-byte charactersets, like Chinese. This limitation in ht://dig really bugs me, and holds mail-archive back from world domination. On the other hand, it's very hard to displace a reasonably good existing system even if the new technology is better. I know this all too well, from working in a research lab. I'll tell you what - when ht://dig 3.2 comes out, I will compare it closely with aspseek and upgrade to whichever one makes more sense for mail-archive. The things that matter most to mail-archive are administrative simplicity, reliability, and resources consumed during local file indexing (both time and space). End users probably care most about the quality of search results. However, for mail-archive, while end users are welcome to speak up, many times their desires can be secondary. Hobbies are so much more fun than businesses. :) Cheers, Jeff _______________________________________________ Gossip mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
