Part 1 Core Lucene
T
he first half of this book covers out-of-the-box (errr… out of the JAR) Lucene. You’ll “Meet Lucene” with a general overview and develop a complete indexing and searching application. Each successive chapter systematically delves into specific areas. “Indexing” data and documents and subsequently “Searching” for them are the first steps to using Lucene. Returning to a glossed-over indexing process, “Analysis,” will fill in your understanding of what happens to the text indexed with Lucene. Searching is where Lucene really shines: This section concludes with “Advanced searching” techniques using only the built-in features, and “Extending search” showcasing Lucene’s extensibility for custom purposes.
