Subject: Re: Freetext search (was: iowa)

Dave,

I've recently written an indexer in Ruby that I'm currently using with my
home-rolled Wiki for full-text searches. It's got a touch of drb code in it
to have it run as a server. c

However, it only handles simple searches (single keyword or literal phrase)
at the moment -- but could probably be easily expanded to handle fancier
searches (of course said work would have to be done by 'other open source
contributors' :)

No release, but you can wade through it here:

ndex/

The main storage is a hash -- key is the term and the value is an array of
references to that term.
