Lucene in Action: Meet Lucene Pt. 1 - WebReference.com-: "This chapter covers
Understanding Lucene
Using the basic indexing API
Working with the search API
Considering alternative products


One of the key factors behind Lucene�s popularity and success is its simplicity. The careful exposure of its indexing and searching API is a sign of the welldesigned software. Consequently, you don�t need in-depth knowledge about how Lucene�s information indexing and retrieval work in order to start using it. Moreover, Lucene�s straightforward API requires you to learn how to use only a handful of its classes.
In this chapter, we show you how to perform basic indexing and searching with Lucene with ready-to-use code examples. We then briefly introduce all the core elements you need to know for both of these processes. We also provide brief reviews of competing Java/non-Java, free, and commercial products."
