Hello,

yes, so far you only wrote about htdig's pros.
That is not true! Isn't it a pro if I say Lucene is pretty extensible?

According to your below remarks, I have the impression that a simple search engine (and not a search engine API) would be sufficient, because you just want to index text based file types (like HTML or XML files).
So Lucene would be still powerfull framework, but it also might be an overhead if it comes to your special needs.
well, we like to discuss topics like this in the open, as opposed to having one guy making all the decisions (especially with potential new members) is that so strange? It's not that we don't trust you .. it's just that we haven't heard any hard arguments against lucene yet.
For me it was never to argue against something or for something, 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. Does it make sense to code Java if you could have the same by just typing ...
$ > rpm --install glimpse-someversion.rpm
That's another search engine, btw.
[...]
could you please tell us why ? sorry if asking this offends you, but we are really interested to know, and that way we have a certain peace of mind.
These are the steps of a possible htdig installation process:
$ > rpm --install htdig-someversion.rpm
* create a custom htdig configuration file based on an example configuration file. * customize some htdig templates to fit the CI of the AndroMDA web site (usually header/footer.html wrapper.html and syntax.html) * add a CRON job that will index your web site on a regular basis.
And finally as I said, it took me less then a hour to setup htdig and an additional day to customize the HTML templates.
Frankly, this discussion became way to complicated and I partitially don't understand your objections.
So I am asking again ...
- If there is a guy having plenty of knowledeg about setting up htdig and some knowledge about Lucene, why not stick with his recommendation to use htdig? Especially if you just want to index text files.
You know if you would say, ok we want to index text files stored within a MySQL database I would completly understand your concerns. But it is my very impression that a simple solution like htdig is sufficient in this case.
This is my offer:
- I will setup a search engine that does not require programing based on a API. - I will setup a search engine that is completly functional within less than two or three days. - I will setup a search engine that does not need much maintenance. - If there is evidence that the search engine that I did install does not fit your needs, I will finally install and maintain Lucene.
