thanks for that, I'll do a bit more investigation into that area.
I've been carrying out a proof of concept using v1.6.1 and I had a little
play with 1.7 yesterday, the Lucene plugin you mention is the one that has
now been incorporated into xwiki?
interesting that you mention the Lucene search, the business have some other
requirements on the search which I wasn't sure would be possible. I must
confess to not knowing that much about Lucene but I'm under the impression
(from others in here) that it may be capable of the following.
- ability to suggest words or phrases if the search detects mispelt words
i.e. like Googles "Did you mean?" feature.
- ability to handle grammar variations i.e. searching for "loans" would
also return "loan".
- natural language searches e.g. "How do I apply for a loan?"; I'm
assuming that this means the search will try for an exact match on this and
then disregard the meaningless words e.g. "do", "i" "for", "a" etc.
I haven't seen signs of these features in xwiki's implementation of Lucene,
do you know if it could handle these?
Any comments would be appreciated.
TIA
Graham
