LOL. Actually, we've never really tried it. We treat search as a centralized service (i.e. centralized infrastructure, centralized software, e.g.), with the...
Sure, understood. In the systems we've done that needed security, we've always implemented "early binding" whenever possible - that is setting up a search...
In Autonomy v4 I was surprised how quickly queries with postfix wildcards were returning. However, in a high traffic environment the scalability was...
Oracle Corp, located in Redwood Shores, CA is currently looking for Software Developers to join the Oracle text Development team. Oracle Text is part of the...
Here is one Lucene implementation with full prefix wild-card capability - as well as range search on dates and numbers. How many docs / records are you looking...
Is anyone aware of a vendor/technology/library, offering the ability to update a field of an already indexed item(document), without triggering / requireing...
... I believe K2 claimed to have implemented this some time back; but in a recent test at a customer site we found it was not 100% reliable - sometimes it...
Autonomy has DREREPLACE which will modify the value of a field on an existing document. I don't believe there's any equivalent to an SQL UPDATE to make the...
Nick: Up until now in the thread I was thinking prefix and infix at search time - I wonder if you might do what we once implemented at Fulcrum, which is to add...
... We thought about that... might do it. We have bigger problems, though. FYI, the biggest one is what you and I and Mark all suspected... building the whole...
With Autonomy Ultraseek, it has some impact with indexing speeds, but doesn't have much impact at all with query times. They do have some other quirks though....
In version 5.4 they fixed this crazy notion of atleast 3 documents must match a wildcard expression. Here's what is written in the release notes. Improved...
I believe some search engines have a secondary index system where they store indices of 1, 2 and 3 letter combinations. When a wildcard (or regex) search is...
Another one we're facing, but actually an issue that has interested me for a long time (and a large part of why I joined Verity years ago).... Anybody have any...
Instead of trying to update the index with file path changes, how about just including the static portion of the file path in the search engine? Then in some...
For this particular use case, you could just include whatever portion of the path is static in your index. Then have something in your presentation layer to...
One way of doing it may be 1) To perform an extract on the collection 2) Write a script to replace the old path substring in VdkVgwKey with the New Path...
... If the new metric has a limited effect, like moving a result no more than 20 positions, then you only need a 20 result lookahead and a re-ranking arena. ...
... Thanks... I'll see if we can track it down. You're at Netflix now -- cool. Our offices are next door to the new Netflix buildings under construction on...
Hi Nick, Walter coached us on an XPA weighting project some time back. I probably can't post the code, but if you folks are using Ultraseek and would like some...
... We're still using Lucene and it would be very hard to de-couple it from our platform... but at some point, that might be necessary. Nick -- Nick Arnett ...
The design is separate from XPA, but it is cleaner when the SearchResultList class implements java.util.List, like in XPA. I¹m not sure why Lucene didn¹t do ...
Hi folks, One of our customers recently upgraded to UltraSpider 5.6.0 (from the previous version). We now see log file entries: "recent errors and warnings Aug...
... First, ask Autonomy support. Second, try a current version. 5.6.0 is from February. The current release looks like 5.6.2. I¹ve never understood why...
Has anyone out there used Java, rathre than JSP, to access the promotions and synonyms created through the Business Console? Running 6.11 Patch 4 I believe;...
Currently running JDBC extract on a SQL box and trying to pass the output into an XML Scope field. According to manuals any xml format can be passed into XML...
Hi folks, Ultraspider (Ultraseek spider for K2) is pretty darn cool. As its fans all know, Ultraspider has a Filters tab for various types of rules....
