Hi,

Just a feedback.

SearchBlox can only search for html files. Will Searchblox support pdf, xml and
word documents in future? It will be perfect if it can support all document
types mentioned above.

Re: Announcing SearchBlox Search Application 1.0

Thanks Eric.

I definitely like the idea of including the FREE Edition's WAR file to 
the Lucene code base as a demo application. On one hand, it demonstrates 
the power of Lucene and on the other, as you have already pointed out, 
it will give SearchBlox a lot of publicity.

Let me know how we can take this further.

This looks very slick!  I'd guess you'd not be interested in 
open-sourcing what you've done, but here's an idea to consider - use the 
free edition as an open source contribution to Lucene's codebase as a 
demo application :))  You'd get a lot of publicity for your commercial 
versions!

It will not be possible to provide you with the source code!

All the editions of SearchBlox are built on the same code base and 
releasing the source code to Lucene will have a adverse impact on our 
commercial versions with the business model we are adopting at the moment.

We would require the source code itself to be included in Apache's CVS 
repository for it to be included.  I'm in the midst of revamping the 
Lucene demo application, but your application certainly far supersedes 
any plans I had for it, so searchblox would make for an excellent 
replacement.
