About Search Performance

[Trevor Leung <tr...@cuhk.edu.hk>]

Hi, 

I have to import many xml files (eg. 5000 files)  into Xindice with the same format.
I have do the follow options:

1)  import all files into one collection
2) divide into five sets sorted by content and into five collections

which option will perform better searching speed when search over five collections or all one collection?
Thanks for any comment.

I would use five collections and define indexes (if you can).  I've just made 
tests yesterday and for 500 documents, it takes up to 7 seconds to do a non
indexed search.  An indexed search lasts about 50 ms...
