Lars's "we:search" for local use?

Lars's "we:search" for local use?

[James Leifer]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has tried using Lars's "we:search"
(http://gmane.org/we/) to index and search local messages under gnus?

He describes it thus:

  we:search is a specialized news/mail search engine designed to be
  able to handle tens of millions of messages. It can add new messages
  to its index in real time, which makes it ideal for providing
  up-to-the second search results for a news spool.

It looks quite cool...  I was thinking of trying to setup swish++ and
Kai's nnir but then noticed we:search.

I didn't but it really sounds awesome. How about comparing we:search
with swish-e/swish-++ ? Did you try ?

I currently runs a closed solution. I use swish-e with nnir kai's
solution it works quite good. At least it does its job. I have heard
that swish-++ was quicker than swish-e but IIRC swish-++ was buggy on
my current SID (swish-++ entered into an infinite loop). 

/me adds it into my TODO list for today :)

Not yet.  I was too lazy/busy to play and didn't find the promised
INSTALLATION file in the tarball (we-search-0.6) so decided to leave
it to someone more energetic to hack...

If you try, do tell!

Best wishes,
