Sort by search fields ability
Hi,
I am using Lucene to index and search simple text documents. The search
results contain various columns, such as document id, date, etc. that are
retrieved from the "Document" object. I would like to have each of the
search columns click-able to provide a sort by that column feature. Does
lucene provide a "sort by" feature (directly or programmatically) to
accomplish this? Any comments/suggestions more than welcome.
Regards,
- Nitin

There is a search bean in the contributions section of lucene-sandbox
(http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-lucene-sandbox/contributions/searchbean/).
You may need to tweak it for your particular case and you need to be
aware that
it will increase your resources (mem and startup time) significantly ...
but the right
combination of index size and sortable fields is attainable. Right now,
I use it on a
480M index and have two sortable fields. Setting up the sorting fields adds
significant time to lucene start-up but since I'm embedding lucene inside of
Tomcat, it was a trade-off I could live with.
