Lucene support for OpenDocument?
Hello,
The OpenDocument Fellowship attempts to maintain a directory of
applicatiopns supporting OpenDocument file formats. <
http://www.opendocumentfellowship.org/applicationsa>. I have been
attempting, without success, to determine whether Lucene supports
OpenDocument and if so to what extent, what versions/flavors of Lucene, etc.
I have seen some indications searchng the development mailing list archives
that ODF support was being implemented, but can't find any indication that
the work was ever completed.
Might someone on this list speak knowledgably to those subjects?
Best regards,
Marbux

However, a sub-project of Lucene, Nutch (http://lucene.apache.org/nutch)
does support nearly all ODF formats through a parse-oo plugin (with the
exception of ODG and ODB).

Lucene is a text indexing library, and hence it indexes text. For any
other format (HTML, Word, ODF, PDF, whatever) you have to find some way
to extract the text from there to feed it into Lucene.
