Mass Text Indexing Tools

[Thomas Weholt]

I'm working on a cdrom indexing project with similar capabilities. It
uses PostgreSQL and a custom full-text search engine. It's still very
alpha, if not pre-alpha, so there's not user-friendly yet. The final
version should index documents/text too, but that part is still a bit
buggy.

Please post any information on the subject or email me personally.
Stuff like UdmSearch or Harvest ( look at freshmeat.net ) doesn't seem
to have any python connectivity. I email one of the developers on one
of the projects, Udmsearch I believe, and asked for Python support. He
told me they didn't have Python knowledge among their developers, so
if anybody in this group have any spare time you know what to do ....
