Open Lucene.NET - The Open Source Search Engine

Open Lucene.NET - The Open Source Search Engine

Scott Water has posted that Lucene for .Net is back. His post says it all.

"Sweet. It looks like someone has re-opened the Lucene.Net project as DotLucene. For those of you who did not hear, Lucene.NET was an open source implementation of Lucene (which is also open source). However, at some point, the project owners decided to close the project and form a new company to sell the code as a product. I have been using the OS version of Lucene for a while now (there was another implementation prior to Lucene.Net as well), so I was a little bummed to see it go away. I had also started to do some writing on the .NET version, until the project disappeared. Looks like I can now finish that work and get it published some where."

Yes, very sweet.

Seems like there are better samples, API doc's, tools, etc now too.

Time to start playing with this again. :)
