Would it be possible to add an external directory for
lucene to crawl and index?
I want to be able to search wiki content, including the attachments, and also incorporate
external search results as well. I was taking a look at Solr, and might try to go that
route, despite being intimidated a bit. It looks extremely cool and well suited.
Note that attachments are already indexed.
Now the way we use Lucene is by having an indexing thread with a Queue and when a wiki
page is modified it's put on the queue for indexing.
To support an external directory containing arbitrary data you'll need to write code
to index that data and integrate it with the XWiki Lucene plugin code.
Note that we have a GSOC in progress about integrating SOLR:
