Lucene does not inherently support indexing anything besides plain text, however Tika (http://tika.apache.org/) can extract information from these types of files for indexing within Lucene.
Jason P.S. I hope I'm replying to this properly, first attempt at using a mailing list here! -----Original Message----- From: dhryvastov [mailto:dhryvas...@serena.com] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2011 11:03 AM To: general@lucene.apache.org Subject: Dose Lucene supports search in binary files saved into Database Hello - I am completely new to Lucene and I am looking for a search engine which supports search in txt, pdf, html files which are saved into the database as binary data.
