Hello,

I'm doing an Intranet Web site with a database (Apache, DB2 and NT).
I'd like to realize a quite complex search engine on the database :
- the user enters mutli keywords
- there exists a table of non significant words
- there exists a table of words that have meaning: "kind" and "sort"
Where can I find an algorithm or, the best, Perl code for that kind of work?
Is Perl the good tool to do that (Perl??,java)??
thanks

David

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

Dr Dobbs had a couple of articles on this subject, I think in Jan and Feb
this year. They also have downloadable code in Perl and Java, which you can
use as a start. It would be nice if somebody translated it in Python (this
last sentence is mainly to make this message on-topic :=)
They use a btree (Berkeley DB 1.85) to store the index.
