One thing to keep in mind is that Lucene is more of a library and not truly an application. This means that if you wish to incorporate a search engine into your application, can incorporate lucene as that search engine.
Depending on what you want to do, incorporating lucene may take anywhere from simply writing a few lines of code to designing an entire module or more. >From what I understand of your need, you first need a mechansim that can search your intranet for (1) NT machines and then (2) Shared files. This is definately NOT handled by Lucene. Perhaps you can look at using a samba client for that? Once you have done the above portion, then yes, you can add the descriptors and/or textual content of files that are found into lucene so your users can search for them. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi all, > > I need to create a search engine, that searches for > files in a WinNT > LAN. > I would like to know if Lucene will be useful for > me. > Two preconditions are that I will not know the host > names in the > network and will not be know which hosts allow read > access on their > shared folders. > Any suggestions on how to start on this would be of > great help. > > thanks, > ==Rahul== > ------------------------------------------- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Ph: 5579000 Extn: 1029 > ------------------------------------------- > > > _______________________________________________ > Lucene-users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lucene-users > > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
