What are some good resources on using Lucene.Net?

Question

Does anyone know where I can find out more information on Lucene.Net?

I am looking for a tutorial or videos on how to use Lucene.Net that stack overflow users can personally recommend.

Answer 1

I presume you're referring to the following: (link replaced; site closed). The page seems to contain all the information you might want to know about the project and its status.

Answer 2

There are some great articles on CodeProject:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/library/IntroducingLucene.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/lucene-net-in-asp-net.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/lucene_analysis.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/lucene_custom_analyzer.aspx

There are more if you enter Lucene in their search.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Depending on your requirements, setting up a SOLR instance can be useful, too. It's based on Lucene and is a Java Web application that provides a REST-style API for querying and updating its contents. We use it for faceted searching on our company's Web site; Zappos and NetFlix use it as well, I believe.

I've documented how I integrated Lucene.NET into my open source ASP.NET app BugTracker.NET here:

Answer 5

Here is a video tutorial from Gabe Sumner of Sitefinity fame that goes into a few topics about Lucene.NET. The tutorial deals primarily with search in Sitefinity, but much of the tutorial deals with how Lucene.NET works, querying an index, etc.
