When the Financial Times decided to bring their digital press cuttings in-house in summer 2010, they asked us to build a powerful ’search server’ that they could easily integrate into their existing product offerings.
We built an indexer for the XML source data and a RESTful Web Service API. Initially designed as a small-scale prototype, the system scaled easily to indexing hundreds of thousands of pages. You can use the service at http://presscuttings.ft.com.
