JESS (Java Expert System Shell) or Jakarta Lucene

[Asadullah Timiri]

Hi,
Has any body came across JESS or LUCENE which is a is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine written entirely in Java. It is a technology suitable for nearly any application that requires full-text search, especially cross-platform.
Jakarta Lucene is an open source project available for free download from Apache Jakarta
Pls let me know as I have to filter and search the required words and datas from the txt file. Can any one shed some light on this topic? or Is there any other ways to do this?

Well, Lucene is indeed a text search engine; Jess is a rule engine (and it's not an acronym, by the way) and has nothing to do with text search. I can't figure out why you've mentioned Jess at all in this message!
