Summary

Lucene is a rare gem in the Apache Jakarta world - a highly scalable, fast, and pure Java search engine. Its initial attractions are its performance, its simplicity, and its disarming ease-of-use. But there are many caveats, best practices, and examples that users are looking for that are not yet well documented. The lucene- user e-mail list is very active and helpful, but many users seek more guidance and examples. Lucene in Action describes what Lucene is and how it works and most importantly how it can be used in a variety of real-world use cases, such at Nutch. Nutch is an open-source project designed to index the internet very much like Google.
