Hi,
I have a small web page set up to search within my domain based on keywords.
One of the queries is:
SELECT page.id ts_rank_cd('{1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0}',contFTI,q) FROM page,
to_tsquery('steve') as q WHERE contFTI @@ q
My problem is: when someone puts in a commonly seen word, the system slows
down and takes a while because of the large amount of data being returned
(retrieved from the table) & processed by the rand_cd function.
How does everyone else handle something like this? I can only think of 2
possible solutions:
- change the query to search for the same terms at least twice in the same
document (can I do that?)
- limit any searches to x results before ranking & tell the user their
search criteria is too generic.
Is there a better solution that I am missing?
Thanks,
Steve
