Agree, it is not a small integration to do. I'm happy to hear something like that. I plan also to go into the same direction. So, certainly a lot of mail on this subject in the future.

Integrating Lucene for search indexing is my future plan. The kernel level searching does not use indexes at all, neither full text nor property. This means, it has to load every resource to be searched into memory which - for serious applications with lots of resources - is far too slow. But I have some more important tasks to do first. You might have noticed the whole store part needs revision. That's what I currrently do. Anyway, Lucene for full text search might be a good idea, but what about properties? I was thinking about doing it with Lucene as well in a rather dirty way. You could have name value pairs treaded and indexed as normal documents. Another approach could be to use fields, but still, this is *text* only. How to compare numbers / dates for less / greater than which is a quite common task? "Give me all resources edited before so-and-so!" is an example that might be used very frequently. Do not know how to solve this with Lucene... If you have an RDBMS as store this property stuff can be solved by internal indexes. But this is neither a general nor a solution for the file store.
