Found on http://search.mnogo.ru/doc/msearch-howstore.html#sql-stor-crc According to our tests there are only 250 pairs of words have the same CRC in the list of about 1.600.000 unique words. Most of these pairs (>90%) have at least one misspelled word. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Armand Turpel" <armand@a-tu.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 12:21 PM Subject: [PHP] crc32 Hi, Currently I'm working on a search engine for a website. A mysql table on which searching should be done was created which contains Words of website articles: CREATE TABLE docs_words ( crc32_word int(11) NOT NULL default '0', id_doc int(11) NOT NULL default '0'); As you can see not the real word is taken for indexing but the crc32 checksum of a word. So my question is: How big is the probability that 2 different words has the same crc32 checksum? Thanks for response
