[Zope] Searching a LocalFS through Zope

2000-10-17 Thread neeloy_saha

Hi all,

Well I had sent this earlier but i want to resend this again!! I have not
yet received a reply back. 

Can anyone suggest me a way out ???

I have lots of old html/ documents that I want to publish through my zope
portal. To ensure that I do not tweak html files I have used the LocalFS
product, also I do not want to **load the data.fs**. Now. I am running into
search problems. How do i do a search the filesystem file? and also ensure
that the search results come from both the filesystem files and the portal
zcatalog.??

I guess there are two ways ??
** attach a search engine to index on the filesystem files and let zcatalog
take care of the rest.
** or make all those html files zcatalog aware.But then u cant look inside
pdf/latex/word docs or do u??.

I guess I would prefer the first one !! gut feel probably that would require
less effort and I can support different file formats . Has anyone used a
FREE external search engine ith zope before.If so which one is it ???

Strange though it seems, we are *not* Zope experts (yet).  We used an
external volunteer to set up our site.  I recommend that you post your
question to one of the Zope mailing lists -- see www.zope.org for
pointers.

 Hi all,
 
 Sorry if u receive this mail multiple times.I need help desperately.
 
 I am working in a migration project where I am trying to reenginer my
 website from the html/cgi based thing to zope.[something like urs
 http://www.pythonlabs.com/news/08-22-2000-0001.html  ] I have lots of
legacy
 static html documents which I want to use "as it is". So I have taken help
 of the LocalFS (http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/Products/LocalFS) and
used
 it to serve the html documents.
 
 Now I am facing a tricky issue of how to do a search on those files (
html
 )as i do not find any patch which makes them a part of the Zcatalog. I am
 using the Zcatalog to do the search on other contents of my site. 
 
 I guess u might have faced the same issue and implemented the search. I
 desperately need help on this issue. any pointers/code/patches/contact
 person /how u went abt it!! would be welcome.
 
 Thx in advance.
