Im building on a news searchengine right now and need my own ranking algorithms so Im thinking about buildning my own fulltext/inverted index database. What is you experience with that?
Should I use a existing system like oracle or mysql and create my inverted index in that or should I build the database from scratch? Also, Im using Perl as programminglanguage.
The reason I want to build my own database for that is beacuse Im using another language so Im going to use a custom stemming algorithm and so on…
Anyone in here running a newssearch today?
Have a nice day!
