since aspseek 1.2.5 there is the new utf-8 storage mode.
it says that utf-8 will reduce memory and harddrive space and increase
indexing and
search speed. now i have two questions:
1) with index -b can an existing index/database be converted to utf-8. can
this be
done with a productive index? you also have to set up a special config
entry in
searchd/aspseek.conf. what happens during conversion? can the database
still
be searched or do i have a downtime. at the moment we have indexed at
about
150.000 webpages.
2) utf-8 will be most efficient with us-ascii. what happens when there are
also
words with special chars like the german umlauts. will there still be
all those
improvements?
