SpatialPartitioning
Usability (or lack thereof)Spatial relationship is ambiguousThe graph cannot stand on its own
Still needs the list of results with wordsUsers can get lost in all the different nodes
Which ones do I care about?Discovering is useful
But don’t show everything

The Need for Speed
Lessons LearnedMany useful open source projects out there
Some are well-documentedTake advantage of sample codeDon’t always trust open source code
Don’t be afraid to fix bugs eitherJava plug-ins for browsers are hard to work
withFlakey at times
Surprise!!CiteSeerX is very flakeyLucene is pretty fast!Lucene release cycle is ~2 weeksAttu was a pain to work with
Permission errorsConnection refuse
Tomcat was hard to debug withError messages were not informative
