For files, I recommend would write a java hook script ?? to
add/update index in lucene of the files being submitted. Now the query
can be done from this lucene index.
If you want to index your working directory, I believe lucene has a
demo that indexes files : http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/demo.html
I am not against JSR-170, I just don't think its the right tool for
your job. I am actually all for JSR-170.
