[Exist-open] Tips for using eXist, Lucene, and Hebrew

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I imagine Efraim may be one of the few who's attempted this, but I
thought I'd open the question up for all:

Has anyone stored Hebrew text in eXist?  Are there any Lucene
analyzers for Hebrew that work with eXist?  (The only Hebrew analyzer
I've come across in my searches is HebMorph
http://www.code972.com/blog/hebmorph/, and it appears the package is
still experimental / in development.)  If you aren't using Lucene for
your fulltext search, what are you using? ngram:contains? fn:contains?
 Do you have any other tips for using Hebrew with eXist?

Beyond eXist, do you use oXygen to edit your XML?  (The one time I
tried this, I found it difficult to handle the RTL Hebrew text with
the LTR XML elements.)  Any general tips for Hebrew text?

Thanks for any tips/pointers,
Joe
