Perhaps Donald Knuth books ("Art of Computer Programming") could help? Where e.g. is 'fulltext hash' or 'fulltext search' implemented in Magma, e.t.c.? Whole world works with fulltext databases (Google, MySQL, PostgreSQL, even MSSQL, Oracle). Thats 'state of the art'!!!!!!!! Search in TB databases in milliseconds!
Given Knuth's current speed, he'll approximately gonna cover information retrieval when the Enterprise meets the Klingons. Jokes aside, I implemented a state-of-the-art fulltext search for my master's thesis. It is implemented in VW but should be portable to Squeak. Maintenance of the project has been transfered to the Moose project, so please refer to http://www.moosetechnology.org/tools/vw/hapax for more information. --AA
