Lucene.Net & C# Indexing and Searching WinForm Example

ASPCode.net - C# and Lucene to index and search

"This sample will show you how to use Lucene from your .NET application to index and search content. There are some articles and samples to be found on the web, but it seems that they are a bit outdated. Myself I used Lucene version 1.4 something some year(s) ago and thought now that I needed it again I could just download the new dll:s and copy my existing code.

Extra and updated examples never hurt...
