[Xapian-discuss] ftss project (was: The dificult of develop an "Solr-like" to Xapian)

[Rafael "SDM" Sierra]

Hi all, I'm (still) need(ing) something like Solr[1] to Xapian, to make it I
have 2 options, extend xapian-tcpsrv or re-implement ftss project[2], the
problem of ftss is that it is 5 years old, and there's lots of changes into
Xapian library (and also libc), what is the best way to implement a
Solr-like server to Xapian?

Did you done some progress Philip Neustrom?

[2] - http://sourceforge.net/projects/ftss/
