Creating a cross-platform forum search function

Well, I know it uses flock, so you can do concurrent inserts, deletes, and searches (there is no update doc, you have to delete and re-add).

One of the features as well is the doc types that you add to it. Some are tokenized, some are searchable, some are returnable etc etc. So by using the correct types and attributes for each document added, it optimizes the amount of data stored in the index vs only data that is displayed. I highly recommend looking over the documentation as it is very resourceful.

And the fieldtypes:

And to throw gasoline on an already burning 'feature fire', it supports the indexing of excel, word, and power point documents.

In my searches, even in my larger data seconds I have yet to see a decently complex query break anything less more then 5 ms or so search time.
