search DB data

[Kevin Price <ke...@yahoo.com>]

Hello.

I am wondering is it possible to do this with Lucene.

I will have users enter in their search text.  The data that needs to be searched is stored in a
DB.   So I would like to do a query against the Database, and then somehow use Lucene to parse
those results for all of the searching options (Boolean operators, multiple words,
wildcards,fuzzy, etc). 

I�ve looked through the mailing lists, and I've seen some general discussions around it, and there
was a posting from a tom.szymanski@exgate.tek.com back in march of 2003.  I have looked around
trying to find the framework he discussed but it doesn't look like he ever put it anywhere, or at
least I haven't found it yet.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Kevin.

Lucene works on its own index files. So the usual way is to index the data 
in the database with Lucene and then query Lucene. Parsing the database 
results during search time with Lucene doesn't seem to be possible/useful. 
The only thing one might want to use at runtime when the database does the 
actual query is maybe the query parser (in order to build an SQL query 
from the user's input).
