Well. searching documents for text is what Lucene is *made* for <G>. So, yes, this would be a fine thing to use Lucene for. You'll have to deal with coordinating between when a document is added to the directory and when it's added to the Lucene index.
Also, give some thought to what form your documents are in. Are they Word documents? PDFs? HTMLs? ...? You'll have in interesting time cracking the formats of such documents, although searching this archive will give you some ideas on how to do that. Simple HTML case: <b>E</b>rick should be indexed as "Erick". Now do you make it so? Best Erick On 12/12/06, Bloem, E.J.W. van (Erik, Student CS) < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I am building a portal where users are able to maintain a personal doc, placed in a database or dir on server. I want the users to be able to search all other users doc's for keywords. Like give me a top ten of documents containing the work bike. Is Lucene useful for this? Or do you know a better approach?
