Has anyone made a search provider for sql server that I can grab? I need one, but I would rather not code it if I don't have to:). |

Hi Sean, Not that I'm aware of unfortunately! If you write one it would be great if you shared it but of course that's your choice :-) I wrote a blog post about writing your own search provider which might be of use to you if you take the approach of plugging in your own provider: http://www.mindscape.co.nz/blog/index.php/2009/02/25/lightspeed-writing-a-custom-search-engine/ In theory your search provider will likely be fairly simple because you won't need to be configuring indexed fields or managing the index lifecycle as SQL Server would just keep your index up to date as data changes. Is there an issue with using the built in Lucene provider by the way? Always handy to know if there are reasons people aren't using what's provided in case there is something we can improve :-) I hope that helps, John-Daniel Trask |

Thanks. I have the blog post up so I will look into it. The problem is that I have 2 applications accessing the data, a c# MVC web app which is mostly reading and a delphi desktop app that does most of the data entry. If I use Lucene, then either I need to integrate it into delphi as well, or I need to write an background updater for the web app. Sean
