Hi Malcolm,

A great feature to add to click-examples is a search field in the top
right hand side of the banner. where you can enter in some free text and
it will display a search results page which lists all the references in
the application source code (Java, HTML, XML, CSS) and links through to
a the source viewer page.
When the application start up all the source code could be loaded a map
in memory which could then be searched using a brute force search.
Nice idea. We could perhaps look at Lucene which uses an inverted
index and also provide features such as ranking algorithm and search
string highlighting. And since fulltext searching is quite common for
websites, it might be a useful example as well.
kind regards
