[Xapian-discuss] Result Snippet Highlighting?

[Gert Brinkmann]

Thank you for all the information.

kinosearch indeed looks interesting (I did not hear about it yet).

Also mentioned here
http://marvinhumphrey.com/downloads/KinoSearch_OSCON2006.pdf
(page 104)

kinosearch will be displaced by lucy? But lucy is renamed to Zettair and
Zettair seems not be actively developed? http://www.seg.rmit.edu.au/zettair/

But kinosearch still seems to be actively developed other than mentioned
in the pdf on page 103!?

No, sorry, I did not see it.

This does look nice, too. But lucene has one big advantage: The
highlighted snippets are taken out of the index very fast. You do not
have to open the original documents to generate the snippets for
printing them out in the result list. As I understand this is the way
the Search-Tool works.

Thanks again,
Gert
