Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Full-Text Search in CouchDB Using... CouchDB, here is a quick summary:

I spent a bit of time this past Sunday trying to figure out implementing a full-text search in CouchDB, without relying upon a secondary library like Lucene or Solr. In a very read way, I succeeded, but in an equally real way the success may not be particularly helpful in most situations.

That permutation definitely makes me laugh. I had pretty much just discarded it out of hand, but you make a good point that it's a one time cost.

If you're interested, a couple of us on IRC have been discussing how to do FTI in pure javascript+map/reduce as well as maybe implementing an Erlang plugin.

Also, the _external branch should be hitting trunk sometime soon and with jchris' action servers this will allow for alot of interesting experiments.
