I'm working on a new project with php & mysql.
I anticipate that one of the tables may grow above 40 GB in a short time. The main content is text. Now what tools do I need to implement a text search in this big text database ? I'd like the search to be quite advanced, supporting boolean operations and metaphones and so on. What should I be surveying now ? Any hints/pointers/suggestions/comments/ advise on concepts ? Thanks Mike |

You will need a commercial text search and indexing tool. Oracle*Text is one such tool. I was consulting for a company that was using it and they were very happy with the tool. This group might not be the right place to ask such a question. Of course, PHP supports Oracle so you will be able to interface PHP with Oracle*Text. -- Egoist: A person of low taste, more interested in themselves than in me. |
