Hello group, thank you for all your discussion, suggestios and help. I thought I will run some investgations on that sourcecode with Lucene 1.2 and document them. With the help of chen I might be able to create a version that can do the job. Perhaps we can then create some small footprint solution that will alows mobile search engines on PDAs.
Since my time is very limited I am not sure how fast I can do that. I will use the developer list for correspondance with the Lucene expertise.
