How to handle file in Whoosh?

[subhabrata.banerji at gmail.com]

I am trying to build a search engine, I started with Whoosh. The tutorial and web based materials are fine. Web has sizable question and answers. The initial experiments seem going fine. But I want to handle files located in various parts of my machine. I found "from whoosh.filedb.filestore import FileStorage", but I am looking for a simple example to start with. I tried something as below, it may be giving some result but is it going okay? If any one may please see and correct if required?

>>> txt_file1=open("/python27/whooshtext1.txt","r").read()
>>> txt_file2=open("/python27/whooshtext3.txt","r").read()
>>> writer.add_document(title=u"First document", path= unicode("indexdir"+os.sep+"a"),content=u"txt_file1")
>>> writer.add_document(title=u"Second document", path= unicode("indexdir"+os.sep+"b"),content=u"txt_file2")
>>> writer.commit()
>>> with ix.searcher() as searcher:
    query = QueryParser("content", ix.schema).parse("flood")
        results = searcher.search(query)
        print results
        for result in results:
        print result
