kinosearch++ # for fast indexing and searching Kinosearch is a set of Perl modules written against a set of C code for indexing and searching. It mimics itself against the venerable Lucene. See: http://www.rectangular.com/kinosearch/ In conjunction with MyLibrary and Kinosearch, I am creating a rudimentary library catalog. It currently consists of 250,000 MARC records stuffed into a MyLibrary instance. I then export the records and index them with Kinosearch. I then use a Perl-based SRU client to search the Kinosearch index. Kinosearch is pretty cool because it indexed my 250,000 records in just over an hour. Searches results are speedy fast enough for me, especially since it has to go through the SRU abstraction layer and the machine is only running with 2 700 Mhz CPU's.
