XML Search

Welcome to Cocoon XML Search. This page introduces Cocoon searching and offers the following samples:

• Creating a Lucene index to enable searching
• Searching through a once created Lucene index using various means:
• Searching a Lucene index using XSP
• Searching a Lucene index using SearchGenerator

Creating an Index

You must create a Lucene index first, before you can do the searching. Create an index by specifying a base url from which to start crawling (the indexer will follow the links to build its content). The base url should be cocoon-view aware of content-labels links, and content. For example you might use the base URL http://localhost:8080/cocoon/documents/index.html

This following page allows you to create an index.

Searching

Enter a query and search the Lucene index that you have created - using XSP.

Enter a query and search the Lucene index that you have created - using Cocoon Generators.

Internals
