AW: AW: [opencms-dev] Search engine / pure Java

[Thomas Maerz]

Hello Werner,

just to point some things out:

. the data shouldn't be public (no web crawcler)
  - any web crawler will/_should_ fail, because he won't gain any access
    to data; all data isn't to be exported statically.
. all data can (no must) have different rights
  - so every user _can_ have its own search index
. group indexes don't mask non-group users

. How to create the/any index?

I didn't look there, yet, but I appreciate _any_ discussion on this
theme, as this seems for _me_ almost as important as a multi-site
OpenCms. I look at the software!
