P> but problem: not openSource
|
|
|
|
This may be a more difficult issue for the LDP than for other sites.
|
|
My personal view is the observation that where open source scratches
|
|
an itch, it will be superior software, but that it doesn't follow that
|
|
any open source program is better for a purpose than commercial software.
|
|
|
|
Maybe because I deal with commercial and non-profit clients who simply
|
|
want the job done, but my opinion is the open/close source issue is
|
|
totally irrevelant. It is a happy co-incidence (not really) that in
|
|
most situations, open source is the better choice, but it is not a
|
|
guarantee of success.
|
|
|
|
If Infoseek is available, we should use it. Excite is fine (clunky
|
|
to configure and gives many false positives) but there is not enough
|
|
difference between any of these search engines that we should burden
|
|
your filesystem with multiple indexes ;)
|
|
|
|
Is it possible for us to get the docs for configuring the Infoseek
|
|
indexer? Ideally, we would want one index for each language choice,
|
|
where the search is
|
|
|
|
1 - go down the entire tree for this language
|
|
2 - then go down the entire tree for the next nearest language
|
|
3 - the next language and so on ...
|
|
|
|
doing a depth first index such that common pages are found in the
|
|
selected language first, but rare pages in exotic languages are still
|
|
located no matter where we start. Of course, if there is a more
|
|
elegant solution to that situation, I am all in favour of it ;)
