why i cannot find my sentences in your search engine.
example:
Sentence nº340251
浅草寺にはずいぶんたくさんの人がいるんですね。
I'm not the one who made the search engine part, but it seems that the index is not updated in real time, certainly for perfomance reason, so in few times your sentences will be available :)
Yes, we're not indexing on the fly. The main reason is that I didn't (and still don't) have time to figure out how to do that ^^'
Usually I launch the indexing process once a month but considering the increase of contributions, I think it'll be more once a week now...
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of database engine is behind tatoeba.org? SQL Server/mySQL or other?
It's MySQL :) But for the search feature we're using Lucene (http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/).
I regularly use SQL Server, so I'm not much help with mySQL, but maybe this link might help http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/UpdatingAnIndex
Thanks :)
Right now though, I must say it doesn't speak much to me... Also, MySQL is not really the issue here (because I know MySQL and it doesn't help me :P).
The issue is to know how to use Lucene (which is written in Java). I just have to take the time to read the documentation.
The search engine part of Tatoeba was coded as a school project, at a time when I didn't have much knowledge in programming but had a good partner who knew Java and so he pretty much did all the coding.
Someday I'll have to look into his code. I'll probably have to upgrade to the latest version of Lucene as well because our code is from like, 2 years ago. Someday... When I have time.
