Lucene index for Searchable?

[zcox123]

I have a very large JTable (15 columns and 20,000+ rows). Searchable is awesome, but on a table that big searching can be quite slow. As I understand it, Searchable just iterates over every element and compares it to the search text. Has anyone ever tried a more Information Retrieval-ish approach like indexing all of the elements and using a search engine to find matching elements? I imagine you could use Lucene to build an in-memory index and query it to find matching elements, but thought I'd see if anyone has already done something like this.

I haven't heard anyone doing this kind of thing. Searchable is open source. Please feel free to do it if your application plans to do so. We will appreciate if you decide to contribute the code back to JIDE Common Layer open source project.

Just so you know, we added LuceneFilterableTableModel and LuceneQuickTableFilterField to use Lucene as the search engine to make filter faster.

Although it is nicer, the perceived performance gain from Lucene on Searchable feature is very limited. So we will probably wait to see how LuceneFilterableTableModel is received by our customers first.

Just so you know, we have also tried to implement Lucene to the searchable. However, we can't see big difference on the performance improvement. So we are pending implementing Lucene to Searchable for now.

Thanks,
