Searching for Words in RTF Files through Java

Question

I'm looking for ways to search for particular words in 300+ RTF documents using Java. I'd like to use the search ability to:

1. Count how many times the particular word is used across all RTF documents.
2. Figure out in what RTF documents the word is used.

I looked into using Apache TIKA to convert RTF docs into text files and search them, but I feel like there's an easier, faster way to do it.

Answer 1

Try using lucene? It supports fulltext search in a lot of file formats.
