This is the README file for a search framework contribution to Lucene Sandbox.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is an attempt at constructing a framework around the Lucene search API.
|
||
|
|
(Can I have a name for it?)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3 interesting features of this framework are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
datasource independence - through various datasource implementations,
|
||
|
|
regardless of whether it is a database table, an object, a filesystem directory,
|
||
|
|
or a website, these can all be indexed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
complex datasource support - complex datasources are containers for what are
|
||
|
|
potentially new datasources (a Zip archive, a HTML document containing links to
|
||
|
|
other HTML documents, a Java object which contains references to other objects
|
||
|
|
to be indexed, etc). The framework has basic support for complex datasources.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pluggable file content handlers - content handlers which 'know' how to index
|
||
|
|
various file formats (MS Word, Zip, Tar, etc) can be easily configured via an
|
||
|
|
xml configuration file.
