Re: much faster XPath queries with XT



Dongwook,

Your demo is impressive (I didn't know your site).

Can you give me more details on the usage you are doing of XT ?
(would be interesting for our site 4xt.org... )

I am wondering, for instance, if it is involved in the search engine
itself or if it is only used to present the results.

Thanks

Eric
