Re: [Tracker] Delaying release to end of weekend while I investigate...

Senna (http://qwik.jp/senna/mysql_binding_en.html) which can be patched
into mysql directly to give better, faster more accurate full text search.

Should imporve things a lot especially when fulltext indexes and data
files are bigger than available memory (which causes the current
fulltext search to slow down a *lot* due to the extra disk thrashing)

The senna indexes are much much *smaller* and should fit in available
memory far more easily as a result.

The ngram stuff should provide more fuzzy based search too.

This sounds extremely cool. However this means that you must ship a patched mysql with tracker, no? 

As they would require a database rebuild to apply, I think its best I
delay the release and play around with the senna patches first.

If the benefits you outline above will come out of it, delay as much as you like :-)

Cheers,
