They involve indexing large numbers of files (hundreds of thousands). All the files reside on the machine that does the indexing. Glimpse does a good job of this, building compact indices from the filesystem level (i.e., the webserver is not involved), and providing fast searches. Large individual files are handled also. As I said below the downside is license fees, plus (as the original poster mentioned) a restricted character set. > Graeme Tait (graeme@echidna.com) wrote: <snip> > > Well, I was hoping there would be a flood of replies here as we will soon be > > in the market for web site search tools too.
