Hi
The issue of searching file name is resolved with some modifications in SearchFiles.java . A field named path has been added in the code. String field = "path"; Also appended parser.setAllowLeadingWildcard(true) for searching leading wildcard strings, which was not available by default. If parser.setAllowLeadingWildcard(true) is set to false the code cant find the file name. If the file name consists of a string xyz, the query option should have *xyz*.

I don't want to use Lucene as a web search application. I have a large backup storage and which consists of html file, doc files and pdf files. I need to search inside a file as well as search for file names. For that purpose I thought I will try Lucene. I m not good in JAVA. I installed it on the server and it worked me for normal search inside the files, but found out that file name search is not supported. Also it takes the same amount of time for making the index and updating the index of the same directory. Can you put some light on it. I used IndexFiles and SearchFiles APIsfor this purpose. Commands I used was: Indexing java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexFiles -index /mnt1 -docs /Documents Searching java org.apache.lucene.demo.SearchFiles -index /mnt1 Regards Dheeraj KV
