[Yanel-dev] Enhancing Yarep Indexer/Searcher interface

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

At the moment one has the following searcher interface

Node[] Repository.getSearcher().search(QUERY);

and with the index the PATH/URL is saved and the FULLTEXT is indexed.

This is all nice and simple, BUT  .... ;-)

In most common search engines one receives the following search result 
structure:

Title of Document
Excerpt of Document
Path/URL of Document
Mime-Type of Document
Last Modified of Document

which means if we also want to provide this, then we need to reparse 
each Node which has been found, which is not
so nice (performance wise and also code wise).

Hence I would suggest that we enhance the Indexer/Searcher interface by 
adding the fields above and introducing methods like

Result[] Repository.getSearcher().search(QUERY)

whereas Result has methods like

Result.getTitle()
Result.getExcerpt()
etc.

WDYT?

Thanks

Michi
