[KinoSearch] anecdotal evidence: index size and search speed

[Paul Wellner Bou]

Hello,

I don't have a story to share as I switched to Java Lucene as soon as I 
knew that the indexes are not compatible, because it has to be used by a 
Java program, too.

But I indexed ten thousands of records, although very small ones. I am 
using Lucene as a kind of geocoder indexing addresses (street names, 
region/cities/...). And the indexing and search speed is great.

Regarding the index size: A sample data set index of 287275 addresses (9 
fields each, 7 of them indexed, all of them stored) occupies about 70 MB.

Regards
Paul.
