Troy, that's great. I finally compiled sword with clucene support for the Mac. Unfortunately currently only for PPC platform because cross-compiling clucene for Intel didn't work. Maybe I need someone with an Intel Mac for this.
However, there are some question to using the sword clucene implementation. - where are the index files stored? - are there some API examples on how this works or is it straight forward with looking at the API docs?
