[Xapian-discuss] Olly Betts, Disclosure of proprietary test harness C++ code

[Frank Chang]

Mr. Olly Betts, I will ask our project director tomorrow again if we can disclose and contribute some proprietary C++ test harness code so that we can test the speed of the new Edit Distance(SQLServer) algorithm compared to your current xapian algorithm. Thank you agan for your reply.
