[oXygen-user] Using the existing Lucene index

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Nathan,

We do not have API which would allow you to access the indexing 
information we store for each resource. Even if we did, it currently 
would not help you because the indexer only stores certain properties 
for each encountered XML element without having enough information in 
the saved index to see outgoing or incoming references to a resource.

Right now if you have a single root DITA Map opened in the DITA Maps 
Manager view you can open the DITA topic in the visual Author editing 
mode, right click on the title and choose "Search References" to see 
which maps and topics directly refer to this topic starting from the 
root map.

You can also right click inside an element which has an ID and do the 
same "Search References" to see all places where the ID was referenced 
starting with the root DITA Map.

The problem in your case would be that you have multiple master/root 
DITA Maps. We plan to allow in the future establishing a set of root 
DITA maps in the context of which rename and search operations can be 
performed. Until then you would need to create a DITA Map which 
references to the master DITA Maps and use it as the context for all 
search and rename operations.

Regards,
Radu
