Talk:Postings list

Feedback from New Page Review process[edit]

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thanks for your work. Is this a duplication of Inverted index which says that postings list is a synonym for Inverted index?

@North8000: thanks for your question. I think this might sometimes be a matter of terminology, but usually an inverted index is a dictionary of words, each of which maps to a postings list. So the answer to your question is no, but I could see a case for merging these pages. DMH223344 (talk) 03:38, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DMH223344: So it looks like it it isn't out of line to be a separate article but it might be better to merge it. I'll just copy this to the talk page and mark it as NPP reviewed. If you (as perhaps the best person to do it) or someone wants to merge it, so be it. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 13:38, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
