Urgent Help Required

[Chirag Patel <ch...@persistent.co.in>]

Hello,

This is Chirag patel.

I want to use lucene.net as a search engine with our web application.

We have extensive search requirements like search on PDF, Doc, HTML etc.

All files will reside at one location in one folder.

How to create INDEX on that folder so I can perform search on all the files
under that folder?

My application will be in Asp.net using C#.

 

Please do the needful. Its very Urgent.

 

Thanks.

 

 



 

Thanks & Regards,

Chirag Patel.

Extn:6110.

I would add:

1. Read the demo's - there is a demo app for creating an index with external docs in there, from memory.

2. Look on codeproject.com for ifilter wrappers, this is a great way to break up office docs, pdfs etc into just the words, which lucene can index. It's not always totally thread-safe, so you may want to put it into a windows service or otherwise serialize it, but it does work. IFilters come with windows (DOC, XLS etc), can be installed seperatly (PDF, ZIP etc), or come with sharepoint/windows sharepoint services (DOCX, XLSX et al).

I've done this as part of Archive Manager (www.quest.com). We indexed all the incoming attachments and messages using Lucene.Net - the largest customer I can recall, and this is 12 months ago and it was growing, had around 20 million emails and maybe 15 million attachments (we single-instance based on an MD5 hash). Performance of the index was outstanding.

It's not as simple as pointing lucene at your folder of documents, but it's not hard, either. If you want the point-and-index, look at the MS index engine, which does that. Of course, it's nowhere near as flexible as lucene, and harder to integrate.....

The book is good tho.

I suggest you pick up a copy of the "Lucene in Action" book
