Hi Ludwig,

• have a look at technet.oracle.com -> products -> Oracle Text there are some performance faq's which may help you
• for queries like '%token%' there are only 2 possibilities:
  1. do not allow them
  2. you can add a substring index: Ctx_Ddl.Set_Attribute( 'my_wordlist', 'substring_index', 'true'); which will add another internal table ($P) which contains data like:

select pat_part1, pat_part2 from dr$quick_text$p

   order by length(pat_part2) desc;

• PAT_PART1 PAT_PART2
• ---------- ----------
• PHENOMENON
• P HENOMENON
• PH ENOMENON
• PHE NOMENON
• PHEN OMENON
• PHENO MENON
• PHENOM ENON
• PHENOME NON

Oracle will then convert a search with '%token%' to 'token' and search withing that $P table.
BUT this $P table will be huge (about #rows($I table) * avg(length(token))
