I have managed to download and install Lucene. In addition, I have reached the point at which I am able to generate an index and run a search. The search returns a 'raw' list of the HTML pages in which my search term occurs. . . . chapter17, chapter18, etc.
Question: how do I go about manipulating the search results? Is it possible to "intercept" the listing of HTML pages returned by the Lucene search function and modify the report it sends to the screen. Can this be as simple as adding a line to the Lucene Java code so that instead of reporting a simple chapter number, it will report the chapter surrounded by HTML code , e.g. instead of simply seeing "Chapter 17" on the screen, I want the report to read <a href = " chapter17.html#paragraph3">Chapter 17, paragraph 3</a>. . . . of course then I'll need to get that info to an HTML page . . . later . . . later . . I suspect this will be handled by 1) modification to the Lucene source code or 2) an addition of javascript or perl-script . . . but am not at all sure. Thanks in advance for any help that might be provided. r. mullin
