Subject:   Optimising glimpse with cgi
Message-ID:  <3209CA63.5B33@nation-net.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm using a simple perl script cgi to talk with glimpse from the web , 
searching through about 7 Mb of documents. Everything's fine and very fast 
until you search for silly things like 'the' or 'and'. Because I have to send 
glimpse the -y flag I can't use the exclude common words feature, hence every 
file gets grepped.(ahhh) 

Would anyone know how to intercept glimpse's standrd output , check how much 
of the filespace is to be searched and then allow it to proceed (or exit) 
with the appropriate 'yes' or 'no' instead of just using -y?

Thanks Paul Walsh.
 
(PS Is there a glimpse forum?)
