RE: Future of indexing in Autopsy and Sleuthkit

Hi Simson,

Thanks for the response

OK.. The problem with indexed searching is that you have to have a limited set of characters to search for. Otherwise it's not possible to generate an index file. The size of the index file grows exponentially with the size of the character set.

That said I will possibly add the diacritic ASCII characters, but Unicode contains way to much characters. Therefore Unicode poses a problem....

If anyone can suggest a fix/solution I would greatly appreciate that!

I'm still thinking about a better solution.
