Subj : Full Text Searching To : comp.programming From : M.Barren Date : Tue Sep 27 2005 08:44 pm Hi, Recently i've been working on a small project which makes use of full text searching though lots of xml documents. I used lucene (ported to ..net) for that matter but i became really interested to see what goes on behind the scene of a full text search engine. So i decided i would make a very simple engine that would just search single or multiple words in several docs just to get a taste of it and build upon my knowledge. I don't have much knowledge about indexing or any other part of a search engine library, so i wanted to see if anyone here can direct me to some books or papers where i can learn the basics. THanks in advance Michael .
