Re: Full text indexing

Hi all, sorry to step in suddenly... but recently I've been using 
Compass framework with excellent results. Compass has a framework called 
XSEM (Xml Search Engine Mapping) which makes a really nice abstraction 
for Lucene. Maybe this is not a convenient solution for Xindice, but, I 
believe it is worth a try!

Best regards,
