This is now in testing:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.discuss:6591
For those interested, the technology behind this is the indexer from
we:search with Xapian bolted on the back (we:search is Lars home-grown
search for Gmane). Since we:search is GPL, I'll make this available
once everything is sorted out.
On the search side, it's a slightly tweaked version of Omega with a thin
PHP wrapper.
The most useful Omega tweak is to allow the coloured backgrounds in
search highlighting - I'll fold this into CVS fairly soon:
http://rain.gmane.org/?query=xapian+gmane+search
The other tweaks are stuff like using "query" instead of "P"
(so that
links to searches will continue to work). That's probably better
done in the PHP wrapper anyway.
Cheers,
Olly

Does it handle stemming better? J -- /--------------------------------------------------------------------------\ James Aylett xapian.org james@tartarus.org uncertaintydivision.org
