Lucene.Net: Excellent Full-Text Search Engine

Can there be a full-text search coded on 37 lines? Well, I am going to cheat a bit and use Lucene.Net for the dirty work. Lucene.Net is a .NET port of Jakarta Lucene search engine. Here is a quick list of its features:

  • It can be used in ASP.NET, Win Forms or console applications.
  • Very good performance.
  • Ranked search results.
  • Search query highlighting in results.
  • Searches structured and unstructured data.
  • Metadata searching (query by date, search custom fields...).
  • Index size approximately 30% of the indexed text.
  • Can also store full indexed documents.
  • Pure managed .NET.
  • Very friendly licensing (Apache Software License 2.0).
  • Localizable (support for Brazilian, Czech, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, Japanese, Korean and Russian included).
  • Extensible (source code included).

I blogged about this 1.79 million years ago (ok, 7 years ago, but that's close to 1.79M in Net years...), DotLucene: Full-Text Search for Your Intranet or Website using 37 Lines of Code, so when I saw it get an update I thought a shout-out was warranted.

This also highlights the staying power of Lucene...
