Looking for an example of using Lucene.net with AS

Question

How do you implement the search capabilities of Lucene.net in asp.net? If possible, please include links or example code.

Answer 1

I think mojoPortal (ASP.NET CMS) uses Lucene.NET.

Another nice example, cuyahoga, makes also use of NHibernate.

You can take a look at their source...

Answer 2

There is a excellent blog series here:

1. Lucene.NET
2. Introduction to Lucene
3. Indexing basics
4. Search basics
5. Alternatives ( did you mean …)
6. Faceted search / Drill down
7. Class reference

I have also found another project called SimpleLucene which you can use to maintain your lucene indexes whenever you need to update or delete a document.

Answer 3

Be sure to check out LINQ to Lucene. It's not feature complete, but it does make getting started a lot easier: http://www.codeplex.com/linqtolucene
