Hi,
I'm using MySQL together with PHP on my website for a hierarchical,
Yahoo-like directory with ~ 10.000 entries (and growing).
I would like to offer the visitors of my website a Altavista-like keyword
search capability on some of the fields in the main table.
Does anyone know of a piece of software that works with this setup?
I imagine to do a daily dump of the database
SELECT id,name, descr, keywords FROM items WHERE status>0
and running an indexer on the resulting table.
indexer -o indexfile dailydump
rm dailydump
Then, when a user searches for some keywords,
lookup -f indexfile -max 10 somekeywords
would result in a list of maching ids in the database, together with a
number indicating the quality of the match, e.g.
6239 98%
2712 98%
7765 67%
....
Any pointers for such a tool?
Stan
