[opencms-dev] Search Engine integration - advice on available options?

[Joe McFadden]

Hi,

We'd like to integrate OpenCMS with a search engine, and I'm looking
for some general advice on what options are available and their relative
merits.

I've looked at the docs and the mailing list archive, and seen various
posts on the details of setting up the lucene module,  plus a few about
htdig. However, I can only find the lucence module in the module sandbox
- is the htdig module still available?

Any comments on pros and cons of htdig vs lucene vs whatever in the
context of integrating with OpenCMS?

This is for an intranet site; I will need to be able to index Word and
PDF documents. Using OpenCMS 5.0 on Linux.
We currently use htdig to index our existing static intranet site
(which we plan to migrate to OpenCMS).

Regards,
Joe

PS - thanks to Thomas Maarz for his response to my post last week on
updating control code - your suggestion worked.
