Hello! I'd like to ask everyone's opinion on implementing a search functionality in an app. The app is a forum that tends to be simple and pluggable. Now I'm on a quest of picking a right solution for searching and have stuck.
My current thoughts and decision: - Searching using "like" db queries is too simplistic and tends to be slower over time. - Database-specific solutions (MySQL search, Postgres TSearch2) kill portability. - PyLucene is too large to work in-process (20 MB in memory). Also it doesn't work with Python's threading (segfaulting the whole process on import). A solution would be a dedicated PyLucene process. - Xapian looks good but I didn't actually try it yet. I've heard though that it doesn't implement locking of index database and this should be done manually. Not a rocket science but complicates the solution a bit. I've also seen recommendation to run it in a dedicated process. So my questions are: - Am I doomed to have a separate server? This complicates things a lot and I very much inclined to use some in-process thing - Are there any solutions on a scale between simplistic "likes" and sophisticated indexers like Lucene? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
