Hi Scott,

I also have a Fulltext search engine completely developed in Smalltalk. It does a very nice job when parsing text, since it recognizes several expressions as equivalent. This means that index is made up of terms and terms can be words or more complicated expressions like email addresses, or law references.

It is specially prepared for spanish, it is developed for VisualWorks 5.i and it works with (or without) GemStone.

I started playing around with your code, but I would appreciate if you keep me up to date.

Rigth now, I have started a new job, and that is the reason I didn't participate in the thread discussion. But I definitely want to integrate all the "parsing technology" in your engine.

Kind Regards, Francisco

As the image has just radically changed with modules, I think it makes sense to adapt my FTI for the new image before posting it to the list. As such, I don't expect to be posting it in the near-term future.

So, if anyone wants a copy for private development and integration work, send me email.

Besides, it'll give me a chance to work any unknown bugs out.

Scott
