Hi! http://mysearch.udm.net/ It is not Zope-related, but pretty good. Integrate its engine with Zope - and voila! On Tue, 27 Jun 2000, Thomas Weholt wrote:
Wouldn`t Zope as a web-database integrator benefit from a feature like full-text searching? ( Everybody answers yes and nods. ) It seems as if Zope is aimed at information-publishing, using a RDBMS as source for that information. An initiative from the Zope community to either create products that support this using the most common RDBMS, support these features in database-adapters if the RDBMS supports it and/or create documentation ( HowTos/Tips ) on how to build a simple full-text searching, give ideas, overviews etc, would make Zope a more viable solution for information-publishing.
My reason for asking this is that I`m trying to sell OpenSource to my co-workers, show that Open can be just as good as any commercial, Closed-Sourced alternative. When I said that full-text searching wasn`t running out-of-the-box I was laughed at. The solution used in my company is Windows 2000 server, MS SQL 7.0 and SiteServer/MS IIS. To compete with this full-text searching is a must. I used PostgreSQL 7.0.2 with Zope and PostgreSQL has a c-library for full-text searching included in the source. If we could get this to work with Zope we would be a bit closer.
I`m going to dive into this, so if somebody wants to help, has tips or whatever, please feel free to email me.
