I imagine you could index the info you wanted to quickly search on into a RAMDirectory (assuming it wasn't too much info), then run simple or complex searches on that, but I that might take longer to do than simple regex searching on files. That would only give you a gain if you were going to run repeated searches on that set of data.

The use case is that the users have a CD with lot of files. I provide them a nice user interface. They have the option to generate the full text search index but they should also be able to search without an index generated. I know that will be slow, but Microsoft Windows Search is still able to search 500 MB in less than 30 seconds for simpler matching. How can I use Lucene for this simpler, not existing index, search? Or should I have to hook to operating system specific API like Win32 on Windows? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
