'''KeyWord In Context''' Indexing

(If you're looking for the old keyword search page for this wiki, which was "mini.net/tcl/kw", 
it's been moved from the page "kw" to "2" -- e.g. http://mini.net/tcl/2 [http://mini.net/tcl/2])

[CmCc]: Google does this, now you can too ... here's a start in pure tcl [http://sharedtech.dyndns.org/~colin/kwic].

My intention was to replace glimpse [http://webglimpse.net/] which is a really good early KWIC indexer with very low overhead.  Glimpse is now proprietary, I don't like the alternatives, so wrote kwic.

The code has a simple command wrapper, but it's realy a [Snit] class with some interfaces and a filesystem-persistent representation.  I intend to write a [tclhttpd] interface to it, so we can provide search functionality.

Dependencies:   [Snit], tcl8.4 or later (uses [dict]s)

I'll write some docco RSN, promise.


[AK] I remember glimpse. I stopped using it when it started to consistently crash when applied to my mailspool. It got too big for it I guess.

[schlenk] Nice, wrote a grossly slow indexing package[http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/~schlenk/index/index02.zip] for Tcl once to use with tclhttpd. (Someone needed a fulltext search system and i had an afternoon to code it...) A good working glimpse replacement (especially if it handles dbs larger than 2 Gigs) would be cool.
