Hi,
Right now my directory has around 3000 pages indexed and the db is 30-40 MB .
My question is: when i buy the commercial version and when I have
200,000-500,000 pages or much more will this decrease the search speed
noticibly. Does this depend on my hardware configuration?
What is the requirements for such a big search engine?
What is the limit that the commercial version supports?
Are we going to show the copright notice at the end of the pagees when we
upgrade to the commercial version?
Thanks,
Baris Sumengen
Of course a 500,000 page search will be slower than a 3000 page search.
However, a well configured Intel based machine is capable of 1 second-ish
response time on a 500,000 page database while serving multiple different
users.
Response time depends a lot more on the frequency of the individual
terms in the query than it does the number of documents in the database.
This is why its difficult to issue generic speed benchmarks.
For example; Lets say you have two databases each with 10 occurrences of the
words "flooby" and "blort". Database A has 1 million pages and database B
has a 10 pages. The result speed will be almost exactly the same on
both databases if the user issues a query for "flooby blort", but if they
issue a search for a very common words like "web internet" the speeds
will be quite different.
Depends on how many users you have. A $10,000 Alpha machine
can serve 1200 queries/minute on a database the size you describe.
No Limit.
Yes. Only full versions of Texis remove the requirement to display the
