Thats how i use Xindice too, is it a professional CMS or ur own?

I never get to the limit and i have about 2 gigs in my Xindice.
But u have to use the right Indexes for such amount of data.

Some Month ago someone wrote that xindice is able to hold 1 Million
documents with a size of about 20-50kb efficiently..... take u calculator ;)

I would decide to linux, cause the xpath problem u already have and Xindice
is open like a "scheunentor" so u have to install a firewall, which is much
better to do in linux.

no problem, im running it since last year

i did it with PHP, its working, but there are some special character
Problems. Think twice and develop in Java and use the fine JavaAPI

hope that helps
