NAME

Plucene::SearchEngine::Index::RSS - Index RSS files

SYNOPSIS

    my @articles = Plucene::SearchEngine::Index::URL->(
        "http://planet.perl.org/rss10.xml"
    );
    $indexer->index($_->document) for @articles;

DESCRIPTION

This examines RSS files and creates document hashes for individual items in the feed. The objects have the following Plucene fields:

modified

The date that this article was published.

creator

The creator, if one was specified.

feed

The name of the feed from which this was taken.

id

The URL that the article links to, and the URL of the feed.

text

The text of the article.

title

The title of the article.

WARNING

Since Plucene::SearchEngine::Index uses MIME types to determine the type of a file, this module doesn't work particularly well using the File frontend. It works OK with the URL frontend if the webserver sends the right content type header. If not, you may have to fudge it by registering your own handlers:

    Plucene::SearchEngine::Index::RSS->register_handler("text/xml");
    # For instance
