That’s an interesting comment about scale, because I would have thought it’s the other way: an indexed search is useful with a small database. Then it is is often the fastest way to find anything, particularly if the search proceeds incrementally. Whereas I would have thought one resorts to Zoot for huge amounts of information.I don’t mean imply that Zoot might not have uses for smaller databases, but only that indexed searches become ineffective with very large databases.
