hi, yeah, I agree. Lucene is definately useful outside of Java applications. I'm currently using it as the search engine for a PHP based web site. I'm not doing anything super-smart. Just using exec() to fork a JVM that runs the search, prints the results to STDOUT, which I then parse in PHP. I could see having a standard XML format for search results being useful. The only issue is that the format will likely need to change given the structure of your index. cheers -- James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
