OE - Fulltext search indexing

Open apocalyptech opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

It might be nice to have a fulltext search index, so that ad-hoc searching could be much faster. The most obvious tool to start with, IMO, is Apache Lucene: https://lucene.apache.org/

My main concern would be database size. We've already got an uncompressed DB that's 600+MB for BL2, and I can't imagine that a good fulltext index wouldn't balloon that up even further. Also, searching the whole dataset isn't that bad anyway, so possibly not worth it.

Still, something to look into.
