There's some good stuff in Zope for plain-text indexing. I think you could build from this (IIRC, looking for TextIndexNG should take you at the right place).

Usually, with Python, you'll find either whole packages - the Python might be a good start: packages index http://pypi.python.org/pypi or receipes in the cookbook http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python > Am I mistaken that these kind of tasks can be equally well performed by > Python as PHP or Perl ? Perl can be amazing wrt/ text processing - but it has been specifically designed for this kind of tasks. But yes, Python is a good fit too for this kind of tasks - far better than PHP. You may want to read David Mertz's book on this topic: http://gnosis.cx/TPiP/ > If so, why can't I find all kinds of standard scripts on the web ? What do you call "standard scripts" ? Plain text search is not a simple task - at least if you want something usable and efficient. Else, I can't tell for Perl, but the vast majority of PHP scripts you'll find on the web is just crap. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
