Hi,
Firts of all thanx for some great software. I do not know which approach to full text indexing you guys are considering, but you may want to check out the Isearch/Isite implementations on vinca.cnidr.org. These are open source, z39.50 based index/retrieval solutions aimed at the documentation sector, along with a web gateway via cgi. The indexing and searxh bins are about 300kb.
Another site with similar sw is www.indexdata.dk, again open source, offering their index, search and zebra server.
Both offer standard document types (text, sgml,html etc.), so fielded search is possible.
Assuming one can incorporate their libs into the acs, to bypass a cgi implementation, I think that would solve indexing a site's content not in a db, but indexing a postgres db would probably mean table dumps, and then indexing. So now we have two structured db's to contend with....
I am in the process of shifting this indexing gateway from apache cgi to aol cgi, but just cant seem to get aol cgi to respond...
Anyway, my too sense,
Nicolas Boretos
