There are many search engines available. Two main types spring to mind:
1) search engines connected to databases (example: Oracle 8 InterMedia
Text)
which can be configured, manipulated and queried using SQL (or
extensions
thereof). JDBC matter.
2) search engines based around a group of libraries (example: Isys from
Oddysey Development)
which can be called from your servlet. If they are Java classes
then you just
use them. If they are native libraries (such as Isys - native Win32
DLLs) you
use the JNI.
>From what I've been hearing, there are hybrids available - Oracle
is/will be supporting
Java in this area.
Another approach is to use a product like Isys:Web 5, which is a search
web server. It
can speak http on a different port to your web server, so you can pipe
the output
straight through to the browser, or filter it for the results of
searches.
Take a look at the offerings of Netscape, Infoseek, AltaVista et al. -
perhaps your
work has already been done for you.
