BB,

I know years ago the AltaVista search engine held all its search indices in memory. I think this is typical now for most search engines. I think this book text search must tie up a lot of memory. The more the better :-).

Roger

"Amazon may be hedging its bets. It has hired a number of specialists in developing sophisticated calculations, or algorithms, used in search software. Among them is Udi Manber, a former Yahoo executive and professor from the University of Arizona, who joined Amazon last year as 'chief algorithms officer'."
