How would you build a search engine for large volumes of XML data?..

Answer / guest

The way candidates answer this question may provide insight
into their view of XML data. For those who view XML
primarily as a way to denote structure for text files, a
common answer is to build a full-text search and handle the
data similarly to the way Internet portals handle HTML
pages. Others consider XML as a standard way of transferring
structured data between disparate systems. These candidates
often describe some scheme of importing XML into a
relational or object database and relying on the database's
engine for searching. Lastly, candidates that have worked
with vendors specializing in this area often say that the
best way the handle this situation is to use a third party
software package optimized for XML data
