[Xapian-devel] GSOC 2011 : Weighting Schemes and Matcher Optimisations

[Santiago Pina Ros]

I have decided to apply for Matcher Optimisations project, but I don´t
really know how I should start.
I am reading the documentation recomended in the list of project ideas but I
think that I should start understanding how the search engine works, what is
a PostList, etc...
Can you guide me on how to start and what should I read?

Cheers,
   Santiago
