You can't do it for your Intranet application because, presumably, it's behind a firewall and Google isn't indexing it. The Google API can only be used to find data that Google is indexing. There are also terms of service which prohibit (I believe) commercial use without a license, although I could be wrong about that.

The kind of thing you describe has nothing to do with the Google API, however; it's just a link to Google using the appropriate form inputs for their "Advanced search" function. Go to JavaRanch's "Search" page and use "View Page Source" to see how it's done here..

Of course, this won't work for your Intranet site, either. Google will sell you a "search appliance" -- a machine you can put on your Intranet that will index everything and make it locally searchable. Otherwise, there are a number of open-source Web-search and text-search packages you might use.

well, thanks for your valuable suggestion!!!
great explanation

hmmmm,yes i have seen the technique of google advanced search usage in javaranch site is fine

but you are saying that i may not use this (not helpful for me)
i dont want to buy google appliances for this intranet search i would like to have some free stuff for searching intranet
so i would like to request you to provide me some links for free intranet searching logic

thanking you sir

[saikrishna cinux]

it is taking giving the output message something like this

ERROR opening the Index - contact sysadmin!

Error message: D:\opt\lucene\index not a directory


Apache Lucene Template WebApp 1.0


what is this error messgae

should i need to provide the index ?

any suggestions???

[Paul Sturrock]

should i need to provide the index ?

Of course. Lucene is an application that produces searchable indices of documents. You will have to create an index in order to search anything.

I suggest you read the Lucene documentation before trying to do any more work with it.

Well, not here, as in "not in this forum." Now that this is question-and-answer about Lucene, I'm moving it to "Other Open Source Projects".
