I was about to introduce myself to the list when Torsten's message arrived.
:-) For most of my programming career I worked in R&D and sales of a major
text retrieval company. You might have heard of the company Paralog AB or
their product TRIP. The company went bankrupt several years ago but the
product was picked up by PCdocs in one of their rounds of acquistions.

I know a little about search engines and things. :-) Though some people
might consider me a heretic. :-)) Whilst I never worked with or studied
under Witten, Moffat and Bell (Managing Gigabytes) I agree with their use of
hash tables and no stop lists. In that respect they too are heretics. :-))
