<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Hi Seb,</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">can you answer the following questions:</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">- what do you mean by "be careful using the default eprints-xapian indexing" (shipped with eprints 3.3.12) ? Are there any known problems?</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">- in as far can the code on </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><a href="https://github.com/eprints/xapianv2">https://github.com/eprints/xapianv2</a></font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"> </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">be considered as finished and be recommended for production?</font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"> </font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">- was faceting tested on a real-world repo having 10'000s of records (and not only on 93 as with </font><font size="2" color="#0000FF" face="sans-serif"><a href="http://puffin.ecs.soton.ac.uk/">http://puffin.ecs.soton.ac.uk/</a></font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">) ? Is performance still good? E.g., on </font><a href="http://www.zora.uzh.ch/"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">http://www.zora.uzh.ch/</font></a><font size="2" face="sans-serif">, depending on the search terms used, one may obtain 1000s of records.</font><br>
