I have wrote one that will index PDF,DOC,XLS,XML,HTML,TXT and plain/text files. I
wrote this based on demo application and using other
open soure componets POI by Apache (for doc and exel) and PDFBox. I modified client
interface also. Now its looks like google. Still i have to do a couple of things.
1) At present i'm using UNIX 'file' command to check it is plain text.
This will spwan process and take more time. The advantage this is in unix
based mechines where file extention is not important.( it uses magic numbers. )
2) The information such as Index Location, Directory, URL, etc. should be kept
in an xml file. So that it cam be dynamic.
3) Categeory
Since apache guys provided good frame work every thing made easy. Thanks guys!
