See my original post...I acknowledge that an inverted index can do it, but when you have to make it compatible with a wide range of hosting and technical ability as in the case of vBulletin, you are more limited. The typical forum owner will not install a standalone search engine, especially if his $5 hosting doesn't support it
- colinsidoti 16y agoYes, but perhaps larger forums with dedicated servers can handle it? If this is true, selling a Search Replacement for forum software could really be a viable business.
- danielnicollet 16y agoyes but you could do it with a hosted search solution which, can index without crawling if it can be fed xml feeds of old and new posts...
