Book Description
Lucene is a rare gem in the Apache Jakarta world?a highly scalable, fast, and pure Java search engine. Its initial attractions are its performance, its simplicity, and its disarming ease-of-use. But there are many caveats, best practices, and examples that users are looking for that are not yet well documented. The lucene-user e-mail list is very active and helpful, but many users seek more guidance and examples. Lucene in Action describes what Lucene is and how it works and most importantly how it can be used in a variety of real-world use cases, such at Nutch. Nutch?an open-source project designed to index the internet very much like Google?is built upon Lucene.
Lucene in Action provides readers with best practices, tried and true from the field, including-
Understanding and solving ?analysis paralysis?
Advanced searching techniques, including filtering and custom query parsing techniques.
Handling document types such as Word, PDF, HTML, XML, and others.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: excellent in-depth coverage of lucene, 6 Feb 2005 By  "steveliles" - See all my reviews A superb and comprehensive guide to lucene, full of tips and tricks to help you get the best from it. At first glance Lucene appears to be absurdly simple to use, but if you want to really harness it's power you need this book! Well planned and layed out (and bigger than I expected), the book progresses smoothely through the lucene concepts and API's, and lends the reader an undertanding of the topic which could otherwise only be achieved through long experience. The use of JUnit tests as code examples works particularly well - much better than contrived toy examples, and the case-studies in the second part of the book provide a good real-world grounding. As a professional Java developer working with full-text search in RDBMS's for several years, I didn't think i'd get much from this book. Suffice to say I was wrong. The author's enthusiasm for their subject is obvious and contagious - I can't wait to write my first lucene based application!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Although Lucene is very easy to use there are lots of techniques that can be used to get the most out of it. This book explains what, how and why without going too deep into the inner workings of Lucene. The use of JUnit for worked examples is refreshing and works well. The layout is good and the example code is easy to read with examples kept short (always on a single page) with notes that describe API parameters and what is going on without the reader having to dive into the main text. My only niggle. There is no detailed technical information about how Lucene does what it does nor is there any background to the theory or about keyword/full text searching but then as this is an "In Action" book an isn't what the book is about then I suppose I shouldn't really complain. In summary - if you are using Lucene then I'd be surprised if you didn't benefit from reading this book.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
