Hi, I am trying to optimize the search of users, as google does. So I thought having a 2. column in DB with a "normalized" version of the string. By normalize I mean convert ä to ae etc.
Someone done this before? On my way searching for a solution, I found this lib for a "did you mean" search: http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html Can we integrate this into ORM? and build the "big.txt" from the DB in the DB instead of disk? Or is it too much overhead? I know, haystack can do this for you, but brings in a lot of overhead (like the searchengines) to you, along with a lot of features not all people may need. Any one there with an other idea? regards Henrik >forward of message: >date: 18.06.2010 20:22:29 >from: "Henrik Genssen" <henrik.gens...@miadi.net> >to: "Django users" <django-users@googlegroups.com> >subject: google search > >Hi, > >does someone know a simple way or app for a better search like google does it? >Not in the meaning of: did you mean, but ignore chars like ",.-#+? and convert >special chars like ä to ae, ü to ue and so on... > > >regards > >Henrik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
