HEllo, ok this is what I need to think about:
I have a table called TransFromBase which containes slovak
translations of english words/phrases , I want to allow the user to
choose an option shown after he start typing a TransFromBase for a
given English Phrase, Im rememebering my AI class, but I can't
recall any of what I learned back there.. :P. Also because Im
talking of a Table (TransFromBase) which has like 50000 records, so
I need it to be as efficient as possible.
I saw a live search example shown in AjaxExamples 2, but I dunnno if
this approach will help me to achieve efficiency and to be able to
show in a popuplist the values... immagine when you type in Safary
in the search bar, it will start displaying strings as suggestions,
but I need it web based. .
Any ideas will be very appreciate it.
Thanks.
Depending on how 'fuzzy' you really need your matches to be, you might
want to check out Lucene. We've had great success using it to return
type ahead suggestions. Results from the Lucene index are wickedly fast.
ERIndexing in Wonder wraps Lucene.
