[9fans] full text search

[nigel]

I'd like to offline (= overnight) index 'text' files so I can search them. Examples
would be email, source code. Any recommendations of suitable code to port?
I looked at glimpse, but was unsure about the license.

Look
http://www.namazu.org/

Namazu is the most popular full-text search engine in Japan.
It is assumed that text is written in ujis , I believe, but may be easy
to support utf-8.
The web site is written in English.
Therefore you can read the documents.

I've been meaning to port lq-text.  It's relatively small and claimed
to be 8-bit-clean.

In the meantime, I use the scripts below, written in part to learn
more about the problem.

I index my mail each night from cron:

	0 7 * * 0	cpu	cd mbox && ftindex * */* >/n/other/index/mail

I can then search the 95MB of it fairly quickly:

	: alpha;  time ftlook -i $h/oth/index/mail boyd alpha firmware
	2002oct25
	9.1998
	arch/9fans.2001jul11
	arch/9fans.2001mar28

	arch/9fans.2001oct25

	arch/9fans.2002may27
	arch/9fans.2002oct25
	arch/9fans.2002sep18
	0.05u 0.07s 0.26r 	 ftlook -i /usr/geoff/oth/index/mail boyd alpha ...

The named files contain all three words, ignoring case distinctions.

ftlookword is specialised to use my mail index file and shows matching
lines with line numbers:

	: alpha; time ftlookword mmc
	9.1998:14172: in case of problems. the device name to use for the new yamahas is 'mmc'
	9.1998:14175: 1) by default for now, an mmc device is in test-write mode. this means that
	9.1998:14180:    it should be followed by a message saying "mmcgettoc: blank disc".

	optical:819: scsi support didn't include the scsi-3 mmc command set).
	0.62u 0.21s 2.85r 	 ftlookword mmc

Note that this matched upas mime boundary lines; apparently I need to
fine-tune the definition of `word'.
