I think 72 virgins (attractive females, of course) would be sufficient. Now thats quite a tough challenge in modurn britin if you want to stay on the right side of the law...

No, as you are a guest in my country, living off income support through my taxes, and getting preferential treatment over deserving British swamp donkeys who are literally wobbling towards the queue for 'social housing', I feel you OWE us something AtW....

To be honest their idea was not far away from mine, but I have to give them credit for publishing it first.

I am not sure how your SKA works, but on a guess have a look at his paper: "An efficient indexing technique for full-text database systems"

This does not answer the main question - how to compress best the index.

You were not helping Franko.
threaded: there is no benefit in not indexing short words: they take as much space in binary index as long words. The issue is how to compress binary index best - provided decompression speed is fast of course.

"I am interested in hearing from those who know what "MOFFAT" (in context of compression) stands for"
This literally only means that you want to hear from somebody who knows what MOFFAT "stands for". Now I know. No, I don't know anything about it. Was just trying to be helpful, we can all make silly mistakes like failing a simple search. Obviously, not the russian God of all times. Sorry for myself about trying to help you (and besides, it took me a few minutes to find his personal home page, minutes that I should have used looking for porn rather than helping ungrateful pompous nerds).

So if you don't index short words ...
