What about a pure Lua solution to full text search?
Yes, that would be cool. But how?
It could be of comparable performance, given
the i/o overheads.
Ok. What about the sheer scope of a search? Not everything can/should
fit in memory.
Tricky bit would be optimizing the 'chunk' size
for reading files - although obviously small files
can be read in as one chunk.
Right now, I would like to search small pieces of text. But there could
be a bunch of them in a bunch of different files.
That said, I would love to see a small full search text library in pure
Lua :)
