I am experiencing a similar problem. What I have done is as follows. I have different parse-plugin for each site ( I have 3 sites to crawl and fetch data). But I capture data into same format I call it datarepository. I have one index-plugin which indexes on data repository and one query-plugin on the data repository, I dont have to run multiple instances. I just run one instance of search engine. However the parse configuration is different for each site so I run different crawler for each site Then I index and merge all of them. So far the results are good if not "WOW". I still have to figure a way of ranking the page. For example I would like to be able to apply ranking on the data repository. Let me know If I was clear...

May be you need to touch the web.xml to restart the searcher. If you try to search in different kind of indexes at the same time, I suggest to merge the indexes and have a kind keyfield for each of the indexes. For example add a field to each of your indexes names "indexName" and put A, B and C as value into it. Than you can merge your index. During runtime you just need to have a queryfilter that extend a indexName:A or indexName:B to the query string.
Does this somehow help to solve your problem? Stefan Am 23.05.2006 um 15:26 schrieb TJ Roberts: > I have five different indexes each with their own special > configuration.
