Desktop search tool using lucene

[Marco Meyerhofer]

Hello,

Today desktop search tools are killer-apps, the hype about Beagle or
Spotlight is really big. I think that Fedora needs a search tool to be
competitive.

As you might know Beagle uses a C# port of lucene
(http://lucene.apache.org/).
Lucene is a open source search engine written in java.
It runs with gcj but was also ported to other languages like C++ or
Python.
There is allready a search tool based on lucene called regain
(http://regain.sourceforge.net/). But I think it doesn't run with a free
java implementation, also there is no live-indexing and no application
integration, for example with evolution.

It shouldn't be to hard to wright a tool based on lucene or a port of
it. The hard things are live indexing (gamin??) and application
integration.

It would be great to see a desktop search tool in Fedora.
