Thanks Daniel
Can you tell me two more things.
1. How difficult it is to implement our own Similarity class that can do the
things we want ?
2. If there are more than one field that are percentage match like HP, can
we also specify which field gets the preference while search.
For example, in the search, the model "has to be" Cargo, HP value should be
55,000 or near (tolerance of 5000) and GVWR value should 10,000 or near
(tolerance of 1000). Also GVWR gets a preference over HP value. So if one of
the file contains
Cargo, HP=54,000 and GVWR=9800
and second file contains
Cargo, HP=55,000 and GVWR=9200
then it should give first file a better rating although the second one has
HP as the exact matching because GVWR has more weightage than HP.
Thanks in advance.

That's possible with Lucene, you'll need to parse the XML files and put the
required data into the Lucene index. Then you can search with a query like
this:
+model:cargo^0 +hp:[50000 TO 60000] hp:55000^10
This will match all document which contain "cargo" in the model field and a
value of 50000 to 60000 in the hp field. Matches with hp 55000 will be
boosted so they appear on top. However, matches 50000 to 54999 and 50001
to 60000 will have the same ranking. To change that you will need to
implement your own variation of Lucene's Similarity class.
