Hi, To your first question: the search does only work in a specified collection.
and the indexer works only for one collection too. greets Dirk Bromberg -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Dr. Klemens Waldh�r [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 25.

First question: After some tests I have the impression that xindice's xpath queries do not work through nested-collections, just at the level of the specified collection. I could show this as I find the matching entries if I fully qualify the collection, but if I do the same on a collection "higher up in the tree" I do not find the match anymore. Is this assumption correct ? And does it apply to the indexing meachanism too ? (I am using Windows XP). Second Question: I intend to add some fuzzy indexing (similarity search) for textual information in text nodes (or text based attributes). I have a nice and relatively simple procedure for such an index. Actually I could realise this in two different ways: A) Fuyzz index is external and I add some special functions to access and search; this is the easiest and fastest solution, but no real integration B) I add it directly into the database as an index and adapt the search functions (or add a special on for that). Can you give me some hints which code parts I have to look at if I want to go for this solution ? And what is the best way to add this functionality ? Klemens
