Adding search facility to Struts jsp based website

[Suhel Rizvi]

I am looking for a way to add a search box on our Struts jsp based
website so that users can search for keywords to access pages on our
site.

Has anybody done this and if so how ?

I have done it using Apache Lucene. You must write a separate crawler to
crawl the website using HTTP and build a Lucene index. Then you can write a
search tool using Struts by using the same Lucene index to do searches on.

Hint...look at this tool: http://www.matuschek.net/software/jobo/index.html

Use it to crawl a site and it includes Lucene convenience methods to build
your index.
