ManagableIndex is a flexible framework to build efficient and easily customizable indexes. It comes with flexible, efficient and easily tailorable Field-, Keyword-, Range- and WordIndexes. New in version 0.9: * most string and unicode indexes (exception <code>RangeIndex</code>) now support glob and regular expression matching. Usually, only text indexes support glob matching. No other Zope index types (I know of) support regular expression matching. * a new WordIndex -- which is a minimal TextIndex without phrase searches, relevance ranking and integrated query parser. Its development was motivated by the observation that full text searches were slowed down immensely by loading large amounts of word frequency information (used for relevance ranking). This same information also caused transactions of almost 700 MB for documents of a few kB. As we sort all results by other criteria, the overhead for the unused relevance ranking was far too high. A WordIndex is expected to have minimal transaction sizes (during indexing) and minimal load times (during searching). As it does not include its own query parser, you need a flexible external query framework such as 'AdvancedQuery' or 'CatalogQuery' to make effective use of a WordIndex.

I consider whether I will expressly forbid the use of my software by institutions of the European Union (Councel of Ministers, Commission, Parliament, ...). This is in protest against a recent decision of the Councel to make software patentable. This decision ignores a Parliament vote that pleaded to keep logic (algorithms, business rules) un-patentable. -- Dieter
