Hello Bruce,

is there a way to set lucene so that it only parses/crawls through a given
portion of a website...

Lucene does not crawl anything on its own.  It is simply a search
engine library.  All indexing and crawling must be done by an
application that you create.


also, when lucene returns data, can it be slammed/put into a large file/db
structure so i can extract the requisite information from it.

I know that it is possible to setup lucene to store its data in a SQL database

btw, how does lucene/nutch compare to heritrix?

I'm not sure, I have never used heritrix.

Hope some of this was helpful.

i have a college site. i'm looking at simply extracting all the information
for a given section of the site, ie the registrar section... if i can
determine that i want all the pages underneath a given url, can lucene be
used as a possible solution...

structure so i can extract the requisite information from it.

i'm wondering if i already more or less know the DOM structure of the
information i'm looking for, i could simply crawl the given section of the
college site, if i could figure out a way to limit the amount of information
that's returned.. i could then do a regex kind of search across the returned
pages...

my overall goal is to extract certain pieces of information from the section
of the college site that i crawl...

btw, how does lucene/nutch compare to heritrix?

thanks...
