Rubicon Pro: F.A.Q.

1. How much overhead is associated with the Rubicon components?
   For Delphi XE2, the core Rubicon package is roughly 400kb. The size of the database bridge package varies; for ADO it is 46kb.
2. Can Rubicon do a case sensitive search?
   You would have to handle that as a post-process filter. Rubicon would give you all the matches case insensitive, and then you could filter back to a subset that were exact matches.
3. Should I use Rubicon to search files on my local disk, not in a database?
   That is not what Rubicon was design for but you can do it. There is a non-gui demo for that; look for the rbFile unit.
4. What about support for stemming?
   Stemming has been in the too-hard basket for a long time. We are planning to prototype a solution after Rubicon 3 is fully established.
5. What about support for languages such as Japanese which do not use a space between characters?
   We have reviewed algorithms for this and are tentatively planning to add N-Gram (where N is 2) support after enough customers buy licenses to warrant new features.
