indeed, it's just the website's pages .. the documentation in fact, perhaps this will change in the future, but today I wouldn't know why. > I just wanted to make the point that Lucene ... > > - Is an API and not a search engine, so it requires > programming. > - Lucene might be an overhead if you just need to > index text files.
