Thanks Vishal.
I had it working last night, with exactly the steps you had suggested.
I was using CentOS, Tomcat, Nutch 0.9 - after I got the basic tutorial
working I tried crawling a tamil site, the crawling worked OK - but I
couldn't search. That's where I needed help.
Here are the tiny road blocks I had to get over:
1. Tamil fonts was not installed in my CentOS, so couldn't search from
command line or browser.
"yum install tamil-fonts" fixed that problem.
2. After installing the fonts, I was able to search from Command line
3. To get the tamil search working from Nutch WAR application, I had to set
the URI encoding in the
Tomcat Connector:
http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/GettingNutchRunningWithUtf8
Now the basic stuff are working.
Thanks Vishal and Saran for the help.
