Thanks Yonik for the reply. What I want is to to index a set of text documents (about 200 .txt files) in windows invironment so I can search in them. What I am doing is actually evaluating different search or indexing tools. Thank you.

The first few steps to what? First, figure out if you want straight lucene-java, or another application using lucene. Lucene is a library that helps you write applications with full-text search. Nutch uses Lucene, and adds web site crawlers and indexers, lets you search the index, and is massively scalable (it's google-like) Solr is a search server built on Lucene with a customizable schema, highlighting, faceted browsing & web service-like interfaces (think database, but full-text oriented). So: web search => Nutch other search => Solr (no need for custom code) other, other search => Lucene (roll your own around Lucene) -Yonik http://incubator.apache.org/solr Solr, the open-source Lucene search server --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr.
