Roller's Search Feature I'd love to use Lucene to develop Roller's search feature, but there have been discussions of a much simpler search (i.e. simple SQL LIKE `%searchTerm%' statements). Since I'd like to dig in and learn Lucene, I think it would be valuable to integrate into Roller, but so as to not discourage any other ideas - maybe we could code for a pluggable search module. That way, roller administrators could choose which one they liked, and developers could plug in others.

I don't know how much time I'll have to contribute to this, but just wanted to throw it out there. BTW, does anyone know if Lucene can index existing database records (weblog entries)? I would imagine so. Would we want to index bookmarks and newsfeeds as well? The nice think about the Google search on this site is that it indexes everything. Anyone know of a java-based google-like search package? Posted in Roller at Nov 21 2002, 09:55:01 AM MST 1 Comment

I've actually started a bit of work on a Lucene search engine for Roller (converting a Lucene search engine a coworker wrote last year). Haven't gotten far though, and won't have much time for a couple weeks.
