SearchBean in action?

[Erik Hatcher]

Are folks using the SearchBean code found in the contributions/searchbean area of the sandbox?

I've just spent a while attempting to get an example working with it and I've ended up having to tweak the code to get it working partially. First, I encountered a compilation error because of an unhandled exception, so I fixed that. Next I encountered hard-coded things such as the Analyzer and the field to sort by in both SearchBean and HitsIterator. So rather than using SearchBean I just opted for using the HitsIterator to sort by a field. But its constrained to only do descending sort order.

If you are using SearchBean and the related HitsIterator and other bits to enhance your search results by sorting by a field, care to share some example code? I'd like for it to be a useful addition to my searching features, but so far it seems like I'd have to customize it so much that I might as well adapt the ideas to my own code rather than use it directly.

Thanks,
Erik
