I just checked out the new version and having problems with
the search (I downloaded the linux pyLucene,
http://downloads.osafoundation.org/PyLucene/linux/PyLucene-0.9.7.tar.gz).

After creating the index (e.g. for the python documentation)
any search gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/python//lib/documancer/gui/MainFrame.py", line 556, in

  File "/opt/python//lib/python2.3/xmlrpclib.py", line 813, in end_double
    self.append(float(data))
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 1.0

This is with python 2.3.4, wxmozilla-0.5.3, documancer 0.2.5.
Is something wrong with my setup - or is there a simple fix ?

BTW: creating the index seems (if my memory serves me correctly)
to be much slower than with swish.

And one more: is there a way that documancer could
"automatically" extract a table of contents when
dealing with html files?

Best,

Arnd
