I want to restart a debate on Lucene. My customer ask me to have a search engine in our application in short term.
I know there is a implementation for searching document based on webdav search but in my case, I'm not using the webdav part from Slide.
We are using directly the helper classes. So, in a such context, I think tools like lucene sound great for me. I didn't check completly the current search implemenation but what about the performance ? What about the slide object tree lookup when a search is started ? What about the performance for a full text search ? Obviously, Lucene is quite robust for that.
From now, I don't know if this integration is complex but what not to try ? Please clarify your position, it is not clear for me. Why are you not interesting by Lucene ? If you gives some recommandations, I'm ok to start this integration.
Christophe,
my humble suggestion would be to implement a full-text search using lucene as the backend and connecting it thru DASL. That would be, IMO, the most elegant way to add full-text indexing of documents.
In order to get the content indexed, I would write an interceptor and feed lucene with content everytime some new content gets in. Note that lucene is very modular, so it would be possible to even write mime-type-aware parsers and tokenizers (for example, indexing PDF documents or Word documents (thru POI)). But if you just want to do text, HTML and XML, I think lucene ships with those tokenizers already.

Can someone advise on this possibility?
