Here's a patch to be applied against the current CVS (as at 2004/03/11)

Andy,
Not to bug you too much, but I have a meeting with my Ph.D. advisors
on Thursday and I'd love to have some projected date for inclusion
of full text searching in Xindice. I've been coding furiously for
weeks and am trying to wrap up a preliminary version of my software
for a release fairly soon. If not, they'll chop off my head (they
do that in England I understand).
Noting the patch availability back on the 11th and that you said
it was working, I was wondering about the current status, and if any
outstanding issues remain. If it's just a matter of downloading the
current version of the patch and applying it, and including the
Lucene jar, then great! I've obviously got some implementation work
to do on my side too. Any clues, hints, etc. about how to use this
would be most appreciated.
And if someone (perhaps someone else if you're busy) could explain
how to apply the patch I'd write this up as a wiki page, as I'm
sure there are others who'd like to have Lucene as an addon to
Xindice.
Thanks very much!
Murray

Here's what happens: Someone gets a cool idea. They go, "Hey!
Here's an idea!" Someone else says, "Yah! I had that same idea!"
There are big ideas, and little ideas. We want to understand big
ideas, and let the little details sort themselves out. After the
ideas thought and told, it's time to act. If you find yourself
writing papers upon papers, organizing people for the sake of
organizing people, or using fancy language and what not, you're
dead. You gotta act. In our case, that means: Write code.
