Hello all, I have determined that using CLucene is going to be the fastest way to do searching with the iPhone frontend. Search times are very fast once the indexes have been built. The problem that I am facing now is the time required to index a module. In the simulator, the device apparently has the same power as my macbook's CPU and consequently builds the index in about a minute, which is bearable for a one-time operation and could even be done in the background. When I tried the operation on my iPod Touch, the operation took 20 minutes on the ESV module, which is obviously unacceptable. I can think of 3 solutions to the problem at the moment: 1) Distribute the indexes with the modules in the repository. This would be nice because frontends could take advantage of CLucene's indexing without having to do the time- consuming index operation. On the other hand, it would require someone indexing all of the modules, updating the repository, and adding a couple megs onto each module that some frontends might not use. Option 2) I could setup my own repository for indexed modules that the iPhone frontend would download from, but I think there are some licensing issues with that if I'm not mistaken. Option 3) I setup a repository from which to download the lucene indexes. I think that the third option would be best, but I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on this issue.
