It's really cool to hear of new concepts being developed in that area, and I think collections should give us a really good new perspective to achieve things we couldn't so far.

Our favourite smartest bearded lead developer is investigating a new storage backend, so maybe performance will allow that in the future.

I think what Apple did, in using full-featured but yet light enough PostgreSQL everywhere, just makes more sense.

Sorry for ðe late reply. I juſt (finally) figure actually Apple uſes SQLite for its ISO compatibility, inherited from PoſtgreSQL (ƿhich is ðe reference for SQLite’s language), in ðe deſktop, and PoſtgreSQL in ðe ſerver.
Not ðat it matters much, noƿ ðat Apple effectively gave up on ſervers.

Yammi has/had used XML as the storage backend, probably loading the whole "database" into memory, which obviously might sound a bit heavy on memory but is very fast (and I never saw memory problems with it).
The fuzzy search code it used is at http://yammi.cvs.sourceforge.net/yammi/kyammi/src/fuzzsrc... and is under the GPLv2 (but I guess Oliver might be open to relicensing if you need a different license).
