Question

HI All,
I am planning to index a single document, which has tab separated data as below:

      Name      ID     email     address

So when somebody searches for the ‘Name’ you should get his ID,email and address as the response. The same holds good for other columns as well. I am planning to use Lucene for this. But from whatever little I have read about Lucene, it talks about indexing multiple text docs. Can somebody guide me through a tutorial or link where i can build an index with my requirements.

Thank you 🙂

Answer 1

You would just have each line be a “document.”

This doesn’t really sound like a good use for lucene though – why can’t you just use a normal (relational) database?
