Has anyone implemented a full text search engine with Genero? Preferably on Informix database. Would like to know how is it done.

Thanks.

In IDS 11 exists a Basic text search engine datablade which allows you to do searches on text data found in char,varchar, lvarchar, blob and clob datatypes.

Hi Lars,

The Excalibur is available for IDS Workgroup & Enterprise editions only. I am working with IDS V10 Express edition. Database upgrade can be quite costly. Trying to find a 3rd party search engine that can work with IDS Express.

Alternatively, we can work with MySQL database. Have tried out Sphinx search engine with MySQL and implemented in Ruby-on-Rails. The result is good. However, I do not not know how to implement in Genero.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Christina
