Hi ,
I want to implement a custom indexing capability for a specific type
of project entities , so that searching with in workspace becomes
faster. I want to implement similar to what eclipse does for help
indexing .
Is eclipse allow any such support. I am not sure whether this is
correct forum .

Hey There,
This may be more a platform question. I think the JDT uses its internal
knowledge of things (the AST) to do fast searches. I have always wanted
to take advantage of the embedded Lucene engine to index the workspace
like (I think) you are suggesting - I have just never found the time to
get started. You would have to write your own analyzers, and ideally hook
it all up to a generic builder that would be wired to Lucene. Basically,
do something similar to OpenGrok but on your workspace, ideally making it
extensible so people could hook in their own analyzers.
Is this what you were thinking of? I think the answer to your question,
however, is that it is doable but you are looking at a lot of work. There
is nothing like this in the platform as far as I can tell.
You could do something a little less ambitious, however. Have a look at
the org.eclipse.search.textSearchEngine and
org.eclipse.search.textSearchQueryProvider extension points.
Mark.
