Hi,

...at the risk of being swatted down for beating this poor horse again...

I know it's not the done thing for a user (especially an early-adopter) to ask this of a FOSS project, but I don't suppose it would be possible to get an indication, even if rough, of when the concurrent search issue will be addressed? /me does self-deprecating bow with hand-flourish :)

Sadly, for us, to use bugzilla parlance, it's a major blocker. We *could* try and hack away with ignorant gusto and slap something together, but it will be an ugly pulsing tumour, and never work as well as a Lucy Progenitor could make it work, if at all.

If these two could be addressed:

- LucyX::Remote::SearchClient to perform remote searches in parallel as opposed to serially, and

- LucyX::Remote::SearchServer to fork on each new client or otherwise allow multiple search clients at once (ie, typical TCP/IP client/server behaviour)

...it would allow us to move forward with renewed momentum. The proposed ClusterSearcher sounds like the ideal long-term solution, but just having the existing remote search work as expected would be über-fantastic.

Otherwise, we're a little bit buggered.

cheers
