Hello,
First of this is my intention regarding this email thread:
- I want to illustrate that there are plenty of search engines. Each of them having some pros & some cons.
Some of them can be setup within minutes, some of them will require some (Java) programming skills, some of them are pretty scalable and some are not ...
- You should also honor that fact that if you want me to volunteer, that I should have a major say in which search engine should be used because it is my spare time and it is time that is not beeing payed.
- And finally I am not biased towards anything at any time!
These are my expectations:
- If you or the AndroMDA community already has a favourite search engine you should clearly state that fact. And you shouldn't send me links to some blog entries. They are usually not containing any unbiassed opinions as well.
- As I did lay out, I did a lectorate for a German Lucene Book, which means that I read throughout all of the various source code snippets, and indeed I even tested some source code examples. But it's a matter of fact that I did not try to run a complete Lucene instance nor did I try to write my own Lucene document types (for example PDF or OpenOffice). But at least I do have a substantial impression about what Lucene does and what not, and I am able to say that it is usually more time consuming to setup Lucene compared to any other UNIX based search engine that ships as a RPM or DEB package.
- Can you tell me what type of document you want to index (e.g. HTML, PDF etc.)? - Do you want to index text files only or binary files as well? - Are you willing to code some Lucene code or do you want me to do that?

Ok - Now I am asking back :) Have you installed Lucene before?
I wouldn't select a search engine on criteria such as ...
* TSS/Hibernate.org uses it * It is Java based
I would,... since I have little or no experience with those things and Hibernate/TSS index the same types of pages as we do. Furthermore, those guys know very well what they're doing so why don't reuse their decision-making process. I never heard of htdig before, I like what I see on your chili-page .. but why aren't Hibernate/TSS using htdig ?
I do not know why TSS made the decission to use Lucene.
It just took me about half an hour to get an initial htdig setup and it took me about a day to create all the HTML templates.
[...]
what would be needed to install htdig ? just installing the RPM and a configuration template/file ?
Usually SUSE and any other major Linux distri will include some htdig RPMs/SRPMs/DEBs.
