Hi,

I was not quite happy with the index of the documentation provided on
www.postgresql.org, so I indexed it myself with ht://Dig. The results are
available on http://postgres.ds9a.nl, and soon on http://postgresql.ds9a.nl.

Perhaps you can compare this to the search you offer currently.

Furthermore, I'd like to thank you for PostgreSQL and the documentation. It
is wonderful.

Regards,

bert hubert

tried ht/Dig in the past, hated it passionately and have been working with
the UDMSearch folks since we started using it to work on speed issues by
optimizing their use of non-MySQL databases ...

It was exactly the same here - I hated it passionately.  It turns out that
programs can improve while you're not looking :-)

personally, I like supporting software that makes use of PostgreSQL, and
offering both suggestions and patches on how to improve performance of
said software ... *shrug*  UDMsearch is reasonably fast for single word
searches, but their methods of doing multiword sucks, but that is based on
their MySQL roots, as subselects, I've found, would cut down query times
on multi-word search by 1/3 in some cases ...

The problem, as with most projects, is finding the time to implement the
theory ...
