GNU mifluz has two main characteristics : it is very
|
||
|
|
simple (one might say stupid :-) and uses 50% of the size of the
|
||
|
|
indexed text for the index. It is simple because it provides only
|
||
|
|
a few basic functionalities. It does not contain document parsers
|
||
|
|
(HTML, PDF etc...). It does not contain a full text query parser.
|
||
|
|
It does not provide result display functions or other user friendly
|
||
|
|
stuff. It only provides functions to store word occurences and retrieve
|
||
|
|
them. The fact that it uses 50% of the size of the indexed text is
|
||
|
|
rather atypical. Most well known full text indexing systems only use
|
||
|
|
30%. The advantage GNU mifluz has over most full text indexing systems
|
||
|
|
is that it is fully dynamic (update, delete, insert), uses only a
|
||
|
|
controled amount of memory while resolving a query, has higher upper
|
||
|
|
limits and has a simple storage scheme. Consuming more disk space
|
||
|
|
allows all this.
