Hi Christian,
I’m just just found your page here on sourceforge. I’m new here and not a programmer by any means. However, I was led to you page by seeing some of your comments and contribution over a YEAR ago on youtube video on some Google Analytics on “Data Retrieval”. I’m not sure if you can help me here but at least you might be able to lead me in the right direction.

I’m an aspiring animator and work lots with Bioviso Hierarchy (bvh) files. Therefore, I have a fair large directory of such such file with text data. Is there any program or customizable software you can recommend that can retrieve data by query-by-example? I will be happy discussing with a programmer who is will to create on for a certain fee. This could be a standalone or plug-in to some 3d third party software. Secondly, the accuracy of the search engine is negotiable as the volume of data I’m talking about is not more than 5,000 text files. So, time is not necessarily expensive either.

Once again, If you or anyone you can recommend is willing to provide such a service please let me know. Or if you can advice on any other way to achieve my goal here it will be appreciated.

btw thnx for bringing Eric FLoehr @ PyCon 2011 to my attention;)

Many Thanks.
