That class cannot be used in Merger. RemoteSearchable is a class that allows you to pass a query to another node, nothing less and nothing more AFAIK. > This is the point that's more clear to me now.

If you are not able to solve the simplest case, how can you distribute the engine across the network? I do not mean the simple RMI gateways which marshall parameters and send them through a network pipe, I mean the true system that could beat google (and it is another topic...). Moreover, I think that Lucene can do much more than you think Otis :). Egothor can do that, so why not Lucene? -g- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
