Does nutch index images? If not or/and if so how can I go about creating a separate search category for searching for images like the major search engines have? If anyone can give any information on this I would be very grateful.
You could go format by format, writing nutch plugins to access image metadata for .jpg, .gif, .png, .tiff etc. Don't know about writing a nutch plugin, but I don't think reading image metadata is too much of a problem in java. This might be a good place to start: http://schmidt.devlib.org/java/image-io-libraries.html t.n.a.
