Hi Scott,
eWeek was running a poll last week, asking a question -

You might want to consider Tamino of Software AG.

Subject: [xml-dev] XML indexing/search engine
Hi -
I am starting to design an application that will be a calendaring/event
engine for the State of Massachusetts and all of its agencies
(Department of Public Health, Registry of Motor Vehicles, etc...). We
plan on putting an appropriate calendar event schema in place, and then
starting to generate 1 XML file per event (public hearing, course,
forum, workshop, whatever...). This will build up quite a large amount
of small XML files quickly. My question is this - what is the best way
to store these files for easy indexing and searching? The actual files
will be stored in our content management system, so I am not worried
about updating the information - merely being able to efficiently query
the collection. Apache's Xindice seems to be the frontrunner so far. I
am envisioning storing the collection in Xindice and returning a nodeset
to my XSL that contains file names that match whatever the query was.
The XSL is then free to iterate through each matching file using the
document function and grab whatever information for display that the
current page requires. Is there other software that I should be
considering? Other approaches?
I am anxious to get this right, as this will be the model for other
statewide templatizing applications - for example, press releases.
