Whoosh is fast enough for small amounts of data, or when the searches do not need to be performed in realtime. But, I agree, something like Lucene/Solr or Sphinx might be a bit better for indexing large amounts of content (i.e., the provided example of a webcrawler indexing web pages).
- robterrell 15y agoSeems like using Cloudant's BigCouch fork, with its built-in Lucene indexing, might be a better choice for this.
- arethuza 15y agoThanks - I was reading the article thinking "what I'd really want was CouchDB with built in Lucene indexing and searching" - and there it is! :-)
- timanglade 15y agoTo be clear, our (Cloudant’s) integrated Search product is only available in our paid product or on hosted accounts at https://cloudant.com https://cloudant.com Open-Source BigCouch does not have Search built in, but you can still use it in conjunction with Lucene or ElasticSearch (integration is straightforward).
