You might look at the document filter mechanism for WordPerfect for SQL SERVER 2005 to get some pointers to the appropriate vendors that might help you with Lucene. http://msmvps.com/blogs/shane/archive/2005/11/29/77181.aspx Since the SQL SERVER 2005 IFilter/IWordBreaker interface is documented you might even consider, toy with the idea at least, of using a particular filter *outside* of the context of SQL SERVER 2005, if it turns out that no vendor supports a filter as a java class. This article describes how to write an IFilter. http://blogs.msdn.com/shajan/archive/2005/12/09/Extending-SQL-2005-Fullt ext-Search.aspx Obviously you are talking about some COM interface work under Windows. Not the easiest thing to work with for most Java programmers. But another issue could be intellectual property and licensing. -----Original Message----- From: Todd - Speedy Scan [mailto:tmcindoo@speedyscan.biz] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 10:43 AM To: general@lucene.apache.org Subject: Indexing Wordperfect 12 - WP 12 documents Hello: We have a client who wants to index Wordperfect12 documents but they are not showing Up in our search results - is there a parser we need, or do we need some add on from WP To make the text searchable and does anyone know of one?
