There's a new beta version of swish-e that out and available for testing. Much of the code was rewriting to protect against buffer overruns, and the big changes are in indexing speed and the addition of phrase searches. Indexing speed is much better (my little data set of 6000 files went from 6 minutes indexing time to about 30 seconds). Jose Manuel Ruiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has been handling most of the development. The beta is at his web site at http://www.boe.es/swish-e/swish-e-2.0-beta4.tar.gz I'd consider that release stable. The real reason I'm posting this to the mod_perl list is that Jose has an early release of a swish-e library and a basic perl module. That's at http://www.boe.es/swish-e/alpha/ I haven't heard anyone else on the swish-e list that's testing the library, so maybe someone here could help. I'm interested to see how well it does when used under mod_perl (as I'm using the old swish under mod_perl and I close my eyes whenever I get to the fork() in my code).
