Hello everyone, I need to write a Lucene-based search and retrieval app for Android. Unfortunately, I am new to both Android development and Lucene, so I am going up two learning curves at the same time.
My app needs to do the following: 1. I have a collection of docs that I index 2. I have a set of queries I run against the docs/index 3. I need to find all "good" docs where at least one of the queries occurs. 4. I also need to find where in each of the good docs a hit occurs, i.e. I need to "highlight" all the occurring queries in each of the docs. So maybe I need to compute pairs of pointers with each pair showing where a hit starts and ends, or something similar. I will be using Lucene 3.4.0. It also looks like for #4 I will need to use highlighting capabilities. My main question is whether I should expect any performance problems at any of the indexing/searching/highlighting steps? Can I use the lucene and highlighting jars (lucene-core-3.4.0.jar and lucene-highlighter-3.4.0.jar) "out of the box"? Also, is there any sample code that would show how Lucene components should be invoked on Android? Thank you, Ilya Zavorin
