Thanks for the reply Erick.
I would like to permanently index this content and search it
multiple times so I would like a permanent copy and I want to search for
different terms multiple
times.
My problem is that I dont know how to retrieve a page number where the
searched string was found so
if you could help on that issue, that would be great.
// I would start like this:
// This part of code would create the index, right?
Document luceneDocument = LucenePDFDocument.getDocument( f );
IndexWriter iwriter = new IndexWriter(index_dir, new StandardAnalyzer(),
true);
iwriter.addDocument(luceneDocument);
iwriter.close();
//and now for the search:
Directory fsDir = FSDirectory.getDirectory(index_dir, false);
IndexSearcher ind_search = new IndexSearcher(fsDir);
//im not sure if "fieldname" would be the string that I'm searching?
QueryParser parser = new QueryParser("fieldname", new StandardAnalyzer());
Query query = parser.parse(q);
Hits hits = ind_search.search(query);
//and I'm stuck here. Dont know how to retrieve the page number???
