STFU Search Text Faster Unindexed
- - - -

Simple text files process very fast.
after the first read, they probably reside in memory
for even faster searches. As disks and computers get
faster so will the search results.

I was thrilled with the speed of text search in the mid 1980's.
50+ users on a much slower machine and I'd do my searches.
Now it's just me, my PC and Search.

That primitive (DEC/VAX) text search, was fast enough to search a
pulp and papermill's transaction data.

This one has searched telephone exchange toll data files.

It could be years before a new user, would accumulate enought text
to have to worry about access speed. Maybe never.

I'm just saying that these database / indexers are overkill and
problematic. Is that trolling?

STFU yourself!
