Can you all recommend any other books on information retrieval? I was looking at Amazon last night, and I found a few that looked interesting, I'm just the type of guy that has to "leaf through" before I buy the damn thing. I guess I just need to find a good tech book store around here... I think my first real proposal of any significance will be to replace the catalog with a truely industrial strength indexing bohemoth, that can be plugged into this whole "component arch." thingamawhammy. BTW: I still wanna chat some time about this, I just need to decide when, perhaps late next week... -Casey --- Matt Hamilton <matth@netsight.co.uk> wrote:

Please god tell me they cover phrase matching :-S
No they don't really (if I remember right). I think they do talk about storing the position of the word in the document, so that could help. I need to dig the book out, I looked at it about 18 months ago.

Urm, maybe they'll take it a little slower than that? ;-)
Yes they do. Condensing ~500 pages into one paragraph is a bit tricky :)
