In addition to this discution I would like to mention my efforts in creating a wrapper around Lucene with the LuceneServer project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/luceneserver/). It uses RMI to make indexes available over a network and includes automation tasks. I am courrently working on a search session mechanism that includes pagination and highlightment. I have many ideas to make it a real standalone Intranet search engine.
I would be verry glad that some people could help me make it grow. Perhaps it could be a starting point of what Erik mentions. -----Message d'origine----- De : Erik Hatcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : vendredi 28 janvier 2005 02:02 À : Lucene Users List Objet : Re: rackmount lucene/nutch - Re: google mini? who needs it when Lucene is there I've often said that there is a business to be had in packaging up Lucene (and now Nutch) into a cute little box with user friendly management software to search your intranet. SearchBlox is already there (except they don't include the box). I really hope that an application like SearchBlox/Zilverline can be created as part of the Lucene project itself, replacing the sad demos that currently ship with Lucene. I've got so many things on my plate that I don't foresee myself getting to this as soon as I'd like, but I would most definitely support and contribute what time I could to such an effort. If the web UI used Tapestry, I'd be very inclined to dig in hardcore to it. Any other web UI technology would likely turn me off. One of these days I'll Tapestry-ify Nutch just for grins and submit it as a replacement for the JSPs. And I'm even more sold on it if Mac Mini's are involved! :) Erik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
