[ckan-dev] Is CKAN suitable for textual search in a 10Gb dataset?

[Dominik Moritz]

Hey,

Since the datastore uses Postgres, you might be able to use its full text search. See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/textsearch.html

I'm not sure how good this will work for queries across tables, though. 

Cheers,
Dominik
