p.d. Right now I'm quite interested at the technology of searching and finding non structured content, in order to compose structured documents. For example, the guys at Vignette (StoryServer) say that its customers don't need to keyword anything in order to have a "related content" section. After the writer finishes a story,
Take a look at http://beta.osdigger.com. It is a mailing list search engine I was working on about a year ago, unfortunately I've not had the time to work on it since. It is designed to scale to doing full text ranked searches on millions of email messages in under a couple of seconds on a single machine (currently PII-300). It has a 'two-step' search feature which brings back related terms to ones you put in (usually :). eg. type in 'scsi controller' and chances are it will return adaptec amongst the list of other terms. The idea is to prompt the user to be more specific with their search. I would love to take more time to work on it again, and would like to be able to access it from withing Zope and use it to catalog arbitary Zope object like ZCatalog does. -Matt -- Matt Hamilton matth@netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.
