Just a comment. Lucene is a general index and search engine. Applications are responsible for deciding which information should go into the index. Therefore, if an application put the metadata into the index, lucene can search on it. In the other word, lucene can search on meta-data and content. There is not difference to lucene. It all depends on how applications feed information to lucene. Yen-Ju [snip]
