I am trying to build a search engine, I started with Whoosh. The tutorial and web based materials are fine. Web has sizable question and answers. The initial experiments seem going fine. But I want to handle files located in various parts of my machine. I found "from whoosh.filedb.filestore import FileStorage", but I am looking for a simple example to start with. I tried something as below, it may be giving some result but is it going okay? If any one may please see and correct if required?
>>> txt_file1=open("/python27/whooshtext1.txt","r").read() >>> txt_file2=open("/python27/whooshtext3.txt","r").read() >>> writer.add_document(title=u"First document", path= >>> unicode("indexdir"+os.sep+"a"),content=u"txt_file1") >>> writer.add_document(title=u"Second document", path= >>> unicode("indexdir"+os.sep+"b"),content=u"txt_file2") >>> writer.commit() >>> with ix.searcher() as searcher: query = QueryParser("content", ix.schema).parse("flood") results = searcher.search(query) print results for result in results: print result <Top 0 Results for Term('content', u'flood') runtime=0.000124042337439> >>> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
