OpenFTS (Open Source Full Text Search engine) pre-announce

GREAT! We need to get this information to people so they know it is
available. It is a major feature that few people know exists.

Hi,

I'm about to announce a release of OpenFTS search engine.

Short blurb:

OpenFTS (Open Source Full Text Search engine)
is an advanced PostgreSQL-based search engine
that provides online indexing of data and relevance
ranking for database searching. Close integration
with database allows use of metadata to restrict
search results.

This is actually what we use at fts.postgresql.org and
several other sites. Perl version is available for download,
TCL version (with AOL server support) will be available soon -
actually it just needs to wrap a release.

The OpenFTS project web site - http://openfts.sourceforge.net/

OpenFTS team:
Oleg Bartunov - Project Manager
Teodor Sigaev - Principal Developer
Daniel Wickstrom - Developer of TCL Version
Neophytos Demetriou - Documentation Writer

Marc,

I didn't subscribe to announce list. I think it's worth to
put link somewhere to OpenFTS web site

Maybe it would be worth creating a "PostgreSQL Extensions" section on
techdocs.postgresql.org?

Maybe it would be worth creating a "PostgreSQL Extensions" section on
techdocs.postgresql.org?

Don't we have one on the main site in the User's Lounge?

Doh! Guess that makes our work on contrib/fulltextindex a waste of time,
huh?

Hi Anatoly,

Just tried it, it works for me.

Would it possibly be your browser is broken?

If not, maybe you got to it during an update, etc. Does it work for you
now?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Correction, I had a few minutes so I added it to the Projects Relating
to PostgreSQL page.

I am not sure how they compare. I have gotten little information on the
openFTP project.
