Develop Your Own Google with Apache Lucene (Java Nutch Solr)
Apache Lucene is Open Source API that allows a Java developer (.Net libraries available) to write indexing and full-text search capable applications. I have been writing applications based on Lucene for the last 3 years and some of the applications have been deployed at large corporations. I know there are other libraries available to developers who wish to write indexing engine but this blog will solely focus on Apache Lucene. I will not compare it to other API.
Lucene is a very mature API and can be found in NetBeans IDE, Liferay, JackRabbit among others. IBM has written a very good document about the Lucene architecture, therefore I will not delve into it here.
