As I mentioned before, search was one of most interesting problems I worked on at Audiogalaxy. It was one of the core functions of the site, and somewhere between 50 to 70 million searches were performed every day. At peak times, the search engine needed to handle 1500-2000 searches every second against a MySQL database with about 200 million rows. It was frequently hard to design for more than 10 or 100x our current traffic (and our growth was so dramatic that there wasn?t really ever time to spend more than a few weeks on the problem), so it wasn?t until the 4th major iteration on the cluster design that I really considered the scale problems to be solved., blogmarks.net

Free, I like free. I use free stuff all the time. Firefox, Filezilla, 7zip, and Thunderbird every day, for example. My server is on some flavor of GNU/Linux with Apache, phpmyadmin, Horde, mySQL and PHP (which also includes, I?m sure, TONs more software). I have a Yahoo, Hotmail, Myway, Gmail, and AOL free email address. All of those have a variety of free to them, some are open source free (GPL, for example), some are closed source free, some are just used for free (like Google, for example) where there is no source to see. Now, with open source, it is more than mere ?free? software ? it carries a philosophy with it, that software should be free. The preamble to the license includes: The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. Now, where this all gets ironic is the drumbeat for donations. I have several extensions I use in Firefox and a couple of them make heartfelt, earnest pleas for money, after all, they spend considerable time creating the software. If I visit open source software sites that aren?t currently backed by a commercial company, 90% of the time they are asking/accepting donations (if the product is any good and widely used). So ? which is it? Is it free or do you want money for it?, blogmarks.net
