How to build custom search engine in cocoon?
Hi ALL
I am trying to build a search engine which search based on keyword to give
document URL. The documents can be xml, pdf, word. How can i build a search
engine.
Design 1 : Use Xindice native database to keep the keywords, location of
the document. Search into it and get the URL and give it as hyperlink.
Design 2 : Save XML documents with keywords directly into Xindice and retrive
Is there any method i can do a search were the keywords and the documents
are seperate? Kindly help me out
Thanks in advance
Sreenivasan.

I don't know your reasons for using Xindice, but using Lucene as your search
engine may be a better approach:
- The Lucene 1.2 jar is integrated into the Cocoon war.
- With Lucene you divide your XML document into fields. For each field you
can decide whether to store it into the Lucene index or refer to it as an
external link. So you can store titles of documents internally in the Lucene
index, and refer to the body as an external link.
- Lucene can index XML documents that are stored in Xindice. So if your
content is in Xindice, you can leave it there.
- Indexing pdf and Word documents is not trivial. See the Lucene mailing
list for solutions.
- Building a search engine is complicated. You may have to tackle: literals,
stemming, fuzzy search, stop words, and apply boolean operators to the parts
that define the query of your users. Just to mention a few.
- See jakarta.apache.org for more info on Lucene. Check the xml examples.
