I looked at your e-mail and since I hadn't had my first cup of coffee
I didn't put your name together right. Apologies :-)
Lindex doesn't have a spider. Basically the only functionality that
it has is the ability to create collections and index them. For my particular
configuration it took a bit of tweaking to get it to work, but it did
get the job done once I got it up and running.
However, that isn't to say that if you put the time into it, you couldn't
extent Lindex (or more accurately, Lucene) to do some amazing things.
