Google Coop - Lucene style

[Sam Giffney <sa...@gmail.com>]

Most of you have probably heard of the
Google Coop Custom Search Engine
http://www.google.com/coop/cse/overview
A user defined vertical search of the Google index

The obvious and simple way to implement a Google Coop style facility
in Lucene would be to add a unique id to each document in the index
for each website selected in each users custom engine.
That's a lot of 'eaches', and it doesn't seem scalable.

Does anyone have any idea (even on a theoretical level) how Google
would be doing this and whether this kind of thing would be possible
in Lucene?

I think it's pretty straighforward: the 'custom search engine' is
essentially the 'filter' that can also modify score weights of found
documents. I'd say 'coop engine' + 'your query' should be relatively
easily reducted into your 'your extended query', once you subsitute
'coop engine' with 'query parameters' you set for that engine. The only
thing that remains in the 'scorer' part of the coop engine, but that
seems relatively straightforward as well..... Or I'm missing some
crucial part altogether :).
