Searching without using a Lucene Index

Post #1 of 3 (1817 views)

Hi,
can someone point me in the direction of any tips, code samples, doc on how
to use Lucene against a non Lucene Index? Basically we need to use bits of
functionality such as scoring the results, limiting to 10 at a time etc?
Im returning a Vector from my data source but not sure where to take it from
there....
Any help appreciated
thanks

Maybe indexing into a RAMDirectory (an in-memory Lucene index) would
be what you're after?

there was also some discussion on the java-user list back in april about
writing a custom IndexReader implementation which could be provided to an
IndexSearcher using your own internal data store. thread subject was
"Using Lucene for searching tokens, not storing them" started by Karl
