Semi OT: Ann: Text indexing system

From

Hello,
I have released under BSD like license code for text indexing system
based on PostgreSQL.

Generally, it contain:
 mk_index  -
   make index of _text_ file or standart input
 search    -
   search from shell from prompt. You can write, for example
     search freebsd solaris except linux
       this will find all docs which contain words "freebsd" and "solaris" but
       don't contain "linux"
 search.cgi -
   CGI interface for 'search' also there is search.cgi.ru - russian version
   with more natural examples :-)
 mk_index.csh -
   script for intellectual indexing. You can index MS Office files for example.
 IndexServer.csh -
   script, which you'll run from cron :-)
 need_update -
   helper for IndexServer.csh
 update_index -
   cleanup database
 what_charset -
   very dumb charset recognizer for Russian charsets. There are very many
   much better programs :-)
 docndex.conf -
   sample config file for IndexServer.csh
 TODO - :-)
 COPYRIGHT - BSD like COPYRIGHT.
 Build -
   csh script for building

This system is tested on FreeBSD (my database server) and Linux (fileserver)

This is not very "cool" program, but it is used in our networks some time and
it works. It does not have version number still :-)

You can download it from

PS.
Feedback is very welcomed :-)
