I want to announce the new release 1.1 of the fulltext indexing and retrieving engine ioda. It has three major improvements:

- now handles UTF-8. - direct PHP integration through import lib (Interfaces to C, Perl and Python are still available) - returns alternatively search results in records (structs) or as CSV formatted strings.

ioda can be found under http://ioda.sourceforge.net/

ioda runs since august 2004 under http://lexikon.rhein-zeitung.de/

try http://lexikon.rhein-zeitung.de/lexikon.html?q=(Albert%20or%20Alfred)%20and....

ioda indexes a complete german encyclopedia (32 million occurencies of 1.7 million different words) in approx. 50 minutes. En-wikibook (3 million occurencies of 200.000 different words) will be indexed in 3 minutes (Both on a dual Athlon processor machine with 1 GB of RAM). ioda can update entries in real time.

Cheers
