Basically, Iindex can index stuff in a reasonable amount of time *if* it can hold the entire index in memory. If it can't it has to index chunk at a time and merge the results. The merging is absolutely glacial. The raw text of the mail archive is about 250 megabytes. Freewais-sf is much faster at indexing, but the ranking of search results isn't as good. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================
