Hi,

I'm about to announce a release of OpenFTS search engine.

Short blurb:

  OpenFTS (Open Source Full Text Search engine)
  is an advanced PostgreSQL-based search engine
  that provides online indexing of data and relevance
  ranking for database searching. Close integration
  with database allows use of metadata to restrict
  search results.

This is actually what we use at fts.postgresql.org and
several other sites. Perl version is available for download,
TCL version (with AOL server support) will be available soon -
actually it just needs to wrap a release.

The OpenFTS project web site - http://openfts.sourceforge.net/

OpenFTS team:
  Oleg Bartunov       - Project Manager
  Teodor Sigaev       - Principal Developer
  Daniel Wickstrom    - Developer of TCL Version
  Neophytos Demetriou - Documentation Writer

Copyright:

  version 2 (June 1991). This means you can use it
  and modify it in any way you want. If you choose to
  redistribute OpenFTS, you must do so under the
  terms of the GNU license.

	Regards,

PS.

Marc,

I didn't subscribe to announce list. I think it's worth to
put link somewhere to OpenFTS web site

OpenFTS (Open Source Full Text Search engine) pre-announce

GREAT!  We need to get this information to people so they know it is
available.  It is a major feature that few people know exists.

Maybe it would be worth creating a "PostgreSQL Extensions" section on
techdocs.postgresql.org?

Hi Anatoly,

Just tried it, it works for me.

Would it possibly be your browser is broken?

If not, maybe you got to it during an update, etc.  Does it work for you
now?
