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

[Ivan Biddles]

I have had success using Spindle from www.bitmechanic.com for web
crawling to create Lucene search indexes.

Best wishes,
              Ivan

Thomas,
you might consider to index through a crawler from the web rather then
from
your server's file system. Have a a look at LARM's pre-releases, which
are
contained in jakarta'a CVS under jakarta-lucene-sandbox - this might do
the
job - I haven't yet had the chance to eval it and I'd love to read about
someone's experiences.

good look/Werner.
